Setting the default value for <input type=file>

[mrnoisy]

Is there any way to set or change the default value of a form file input field, ie <input type=file>, other than selecting a file using the browse option or manually typing it in?

I have tried setting it using both value="C:\path\file.txt" and have also tried javascript to change the value but neither of these methods worked.

This is not possible ...

Read this:

Go to the section labeled 'Setting the default filename'

Hope this helps.
