Hi,

Please help.

In IE when i upload a file and hit the back button the file path is not preserved in the input box (<input type=file>) , but in Netscape its preserved.

Do i need to do something in here so that it will be opreserved in IE also. Or it is a browser property of IE.

Please help.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your help. Let me calrify this . I want to make sure is this IE behavior. because in netscape i put in a file path and post the form and go back using the back button, its preserved there. But in IE its seen blank when i go back.


Any ideas? Helppppp!!!!!!!
