Webdynpro Fileupload ui element problem!!!

[former_member207351]

Dear all,

I have a fileupload ui element in my WDA. when we select the file using browse button, the local path of the file is reflected in the input field. I have a upload button for this ui element to which I have attached one action but in this event I want the whole path of the file as its getting reflected in the input field initially when I selected the file.

Is there anyway to accomplish this task?

Thanks,

Sonal

What browser are you using. According to the online help the fileName property gets filled differently by different browsers:

Depending on the browser either the entire path is specified (Microsoft Windows Internet Explorer), or just the file name (Firefox, Safari).

Like many things with the fileUpload UI element (which is really the HTML construct <input type=file>), we are at the mercy of the browser security model.

Hi Thomas,

I am using Internet Explorer 8.0 (IE 8).

Do we have any workaround solution for it?

Thanks,

IE8 may have changed to align with the way that Firefox and Safari work. I don't know of anything that you can do to change this functionality as it is controlled by the browser.
