Re: [Xsltforms-support] Upload with Java Applet

[Alain C. <ala...@ag...>]

Hello Javier,

This is not allowed to modify the value of an input with type="file".

There is a possible workaround with z-index and another input field 
(http://www.quirksmode.org/dom/inputfile.html).

Is it what you want?

Thanks!

-Alain
