We have prepared a testing page as follows, <html><head><title>File Test</title></head> <body> <script language="JavaScript"> <!-- function test(f) { alert("File selected is: " + f.filename.value); } //--> </script> <form> Filename Input: <input type="file" name="filename"> <input type="button" value="Submit" onClick="test(this.form);"><br> </form> </body> </html> When we test the above page, we select a file (e.g. c:\temp\abc.txt) and submit. We found that the path of the file was removed and only alert the file name only (i.e. abc.txt only) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual Results: FF3 only return the filename without absolute path. Expected Results: We expected the value of the input type="file" should return the filename with absolute path as previous version of FF.
