setting value of file input field

[Enrico Lyb]

hello,

i'd like to use a file input field <INPUT id="File1"
type="file" name="File1"> where the user can select a
file. if the filename is entered manually or by browsing i
can access the filename by the value property. but i also
like to set the value to different default values by
clicking on different buttons. but setting the value with
File1.value = "TEST"; during runtime does not work. the
field stays empty.
how can i change the value of the file input field?

thanks
enrico

AFAIK you cannot. Value field of <INPUT type="file"> element is
read-only, a security measure.
