javascript - set default value for type=file : <input type="file" name="file1" value="image.gif"> but it doesn't work
how can i set the default value of my 'file' type input.

i've tried <input type="file" name="file1" value="image.gif"> but it doesn't work.

how can i dynamically set it using javascript?

i've also tried using document.form.file1.value="image.gif";

it's fruitless too.

kindly advise.

Thanks

Simple answer is you can't.

Browsers don't allow it for security reasons.
