Default Filename not appearing on the selection view

[Former Member]

Hi

I've bound the fileName property of my fileUpload UI element to a string TYPE attribute whose default value I've set to a certain path.

Now this default path doesn't appear on the execution of the WDA.

However on fetching the value of this atribute through get_attribute it does return the path I set as default.

Do advise.

Thanks

From the online help:

Technical Browser Details Beyond the Control of WDA

The selection of the file name is therefore only possible in new browser versions using the Browse... button. You cannot enter the file name manually (using the keyboard or the Copy and Paste functions) or by setting the file name from the back end (directly or using context binding). For more details, read the security-related information in Internet Explorer 6 about handling <input type=file>.

thnks for the reply

In IE7 the browser does allow the user to enter the file path manually.

However when I tried running the WDA in Firefox, there it indeed doesn't allow the user to input the filename manually. (clicking on the file path also hasthe same effect as the browse button)
