HTML - Form With Input Type=file Is Not Posted

Hi, I have got an input form to upload files; the form also accepts some other user input. The upload works fine, but I need to display some filenames by default, but this does not work. I tried using:
<input type="file" name="images[]" value="<?php echo $default_filename; ?>"...

This did not work, so I tried:

<input type="file" name="images[]" value="Testfile.jpg"..., but this does not work too.

All this is in a <form action="<?php echo $_PHP_SELF; ?>" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">.

It seems to me that in an input field of type "file", default values are not accepted, though they should be according to the documentation.

Any help will be greatly appreciated as I need this feature.

Thanks

On my page, I have a form:

HTML Code:

  <div id="upfile"> 
    <input type="file" name="uploadform" size="30" id="fileupload2"> 
  </div>

Now, I'm wondering, is there any way that I can set a default value for this? Ex "C:\My Documents\file.txt". I tried value=, but I guess it doesn't work for the "file" type. I'd change it, but I need it to be "file"..

Any help?

Edit: Just realized that spelling mistake in the title..

Hello i want to get values passed from a webpage lets say siteA.html from another page siteB.html without php jsp or any server side language just html and javascript.
If you can give an example on how to do this or an overview please do it.

Thanks.

I have the following tables coded in an e-mail which I send to new contacts to invite them to subscribe to our information network - there is more to the message but the rest seems to be working fine.

When a contact receives the message and is just reading it, she or he can check the selections or the button to select the information category or the method of communication, but when she or he replies to or forwards the e-mail the selections disappear. Is there a way to retain the selections on the reply or forward? I also need this functionality for other e-mail requests.

Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

Please note: I am very much a novice and have inherited a lot of documents etc from my predecessor, i.e. the original e-mail is not of my own creation but one that I am attempting to modify to do what I need it to do.

Hi, I'm novice in webpage creating, and i have this kind of problem :
I'm creating a webpage, where users could post some kind of a comment... I don't know did i choose rigth, but i'm using
"input type="text" ...> users write there a comment, and press submit button. This comment is sent to mysql database and saved there, after submiting it. Next step is placing it in a webpage.
It works, but ot that way as i want.
A problem is : I've added a code like <input type="text" style="650px; height:150px" name="msg">
Input area is about height of 7-8 rows. I want that it worked like this : user types a text, and when it reaches the end of a line, cursor jumpt to the beneath row. Now, user is writing everything in one row, and when it reaches the end - scrollbar apear on the bottom. I would like that scrollbar would apear then, when user reaches the bottom of the input area.
Moreover - i would like that user could press the ENTER button, to jump to next row. Now, when he does this - submit button is activated, and a written text is sent to the database.
Should i use CSS? or ... i'm really green here, and don't know what to do ..
hope anypne will answer to my SOS call

i have seen alot of place on web that sometimes programmers are using :-
<input type="button" / >
and sometimes
<input type="button" >

Is there any difference between the two?
What is correct way of using <input> tag, is it with end slash '/' or not ?

Hi all,

I've created a simple login with some free code i found online.
I wanted to change the login button to an image, just for aesthetics, but no matter what i try, it wouldnt work - the form does make sure i'm entering the right user & password, but once i do enter them, i get the same page with an empty form.
(if i try the original type="button" code, it works just fine)

I've been googling it for hours, with no results... i've tried anything and everything.
ANY help would do :-)

this is the code:
<script language="javascript">
<!--//
function pasuser(form)
{if (form.id.value=="1")
{if (form.pass.value=="1")
{location="MainPage.htm"}
else
{alert("Invalid Password")}}
else
{alert("Invalid UserID")}}
//-->
</script>


these are the buttons:
WORKING BUTTON:
<input type="button" value="Login" onClick="pasuser(this.form)">

NOT WORKING BUTTON:
<input type="image" value="Login" onClick="pasuser(this.form)" src="Materials/Login.png" alt="Login" />

hi, i was wondering what is the best filetype to use for a video on the internet? i need to embed a video which can be viewed by as many people as possible so i was thinking maybe .wmv or something that can be played through windows media play and most other common video player

I am generating a data file for Excel using XML structure. I have found 2 MIME types with partially expected functionality:

application/xml: this works well assuming the user has a version of Excel that is associated with the headers in the file and/or the user doesn't have XML files associated with a separate application.

application/vnd.ms-excel: this tends to append ".xls" to the end of the filename. When opening the file, Excel generates a warning that the data formats do not match because it is expect XLS format.

If there is a 3rd MIME type, I'm not using a search engine that is aware of it. Can anyone suggest a MIME type that forces the application to open in Excel without presuming XLS format?

How would I make a search-type form that would insert what the user typed in a text box into a web address and go to that address? (for example, if they type 'help' and click the submit button, it would go to the page "http://www.websitename.com/help.html") I know the general form code, but I can't figure out if I would use a tag in the 'onSubmit' portion, or use javascript, or something else altogether.

I have a social network. I want my users to be able to pic colors for certain things...
I'd really like to use the GUI that twitter has for this, but that could be expensive... So how do I do it?

And how do i get smilies to input text into a text box like this one... Dynamic pages are going to be hard i think

I didn't make this on frontpage. I made this through notepad. my teacher asked me to make a web page for an organization on our school's website. the whole thing is basically a form. so far i've just made the basic page without any designing yet. i'm sure i did everything correctly except for the submit button. what i want is when you click the submit button, for the browser to automatically send some sort of email to the provided address. instead, it opens up outlook. i don't want that to happen. what should i do to fix this? i will copy and paste my source code here but i will hide the email address with "*'s" just for privacy.

Hello,

I have a code ( see below) with a while loop that gives me a table that shows on the right side after every entry a link 'EDIT' that sends the variabe id to the script 'editjoke.php'.


while ($joke = mysql_fetch_array($jokes)) {
$id = $joke['id'];
$joketext = htmlspecialchars($joke['joketext']);
echo "<td>$joketext</td>\n";
echo "<td ><a href='editjoke.php?id=$id'>Edit</a></ td>\n";
echo "</tr>\n";


Now I created a new code with the same idea but it should have on the left side 'radio-buttons' and on the left side only one EDIT-button.

Two days ago I thought it works but now it seems so that the variable is not send to editjoke.php.

Here is the code:


<form action="editjoke.php" method="post">
...
...
while ($num = mysql_fetch_array($number)) {
//echo "<tr valign='top'>\n";
$id = $num['id'];
$Auskunft = htmlspecialchars($num['Auskunft']);
//echo "<td>$Auskunft</td>\n";

<input type="hidden" name="id" value="<?php echo $id; ?>" />
<input type="submit" value="SUBMIT" />

}

</form>

How do I have to change the code that the variable 'id' will be send to the script edithjoke.php?

Hi all,

I have a simple newsletter form, so just the email field and a submit, what I would like to do is to send this data to a larger subscriber form, so one that has name, email (with the data previously entered already added), list to subscribe to etc.

Can this be done?

Thanks
