<input type=file> value/path?

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

Hi there!

I am building my own uploading system with a nice skinned upload form. The input type=file element opacity is set to zero, and there are some styled images behind it. No problem, works fine.
But how do i get the entered path from the form? I need it to transfer the path to an input type=text element, so it looks real.
document.getElementById(‘fileform’).value doesnt seem to work (i guess security?)

Thanks in advance!
