And about 03:19 10 Dec 08 it was written from Mvij...@Gmail.Com to All:

Mv> In firefox 3.0, I couldn't get the file path from a HTML input file
Mv> field using javascript.

Mv> If i browse and select a file and use javascript to retrieve the full
Mv> file path using document.getElementById('id').value, I'm just getting
Mv> the file name

Mv> for ex: sample.txt

Mv> but in earlier versions of firefox we get this as "c:\sample.txt"

Mv> I very well know that, getting the full file path is not necessary,
Mv> but for my purpose it is.

Mv> Pls Do anyone solve this problem....!

Getting the file path is considered a violation of user's privacy and thus this
feature has been removed from Firefox.
