disable input text box generated from t:inputFileUpload

[Madhav Bhargava <un...@gmail.com>]

Hi All,

I have a requirement where the user should not be given control to directly
type in the path of a file. The user needs to necessarily click the browse
button and then the path will then be populated in the "disabled on client
side" input text that gets generated via this component.

I could only find one disabled property on that component but that does not
do the trick.

Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks,
Madhav

Hi Andrew,
 
Thanks for the reply.Ideally we should have a feature similar to "disableOnClientSide" for t:inputFileUpload component. I am not sure about others but i feel that on many of the UI's the user is required to necessarily browse and not enter it manually to avoid user errors.
What you have suggested is a patch. I had tried implementing it but faced some problems.
 
Thanks,
Madhav

input file is not stylable (IE lets you do a little). There are many
hacks out there to style it. Some involve putting an image over it,
and such. Just google for searches like "input file css style".

If you set the width small enough, the text box goes away. The problem
is that the font on the button can change per user and per browser
vendor, so it is near impossible to know how wide to make it.
