Upload control : "filename" attribute question

Wang Yan
Hi, in the Upload control, we have a "filename" attribute, this attribute returns the name of the file that we want to upload.

However, it only returns the file of name, but not the whole path of the file : e.g: C:\files\upload\...\upload.jpg  !

Do you have any idea to return the absolute path of the file ?

Thanks !

Yan,

This depends on what the browser wants to send to the server. Some
browsers send the file name only, some send the path. The bottom line is
that you can't rely on the browser sending a complete path to the
server, so we decided to normalize the value and always only store the
file name without the path.
