Re: inputFileUpload save state problem

Hi,

For security reason, in HTML (not related to JSF), it's impossible to
set an initial value for an upload field.

Hi,

yes, it is intended to work like this.

And if you want to implement it yourself, you need to implement a
custom browser.
The existing browsers (IE, firefox, opera, ...) dit not allow this.

In HTML it is not possible to set an initial value, (nor set the value
by javascript later) to a
'<input type="file" ...>' tag.

So, it is intended to work like this and it is not an omission?
You mean, that if I want something like this, I must implement it by my self
and to take all the responsibility of a probable security holes?
