User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.14) Gecko/20080404 Firefox/2.0.0.14

Create an HTML document with a form.  The form includes two controls, an input box for filename and a button to execute a script.  Although the input box displays the full path and filename, when the button is clicked and displays the filename the path is missing.  In FF2 the full filename is retained.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the HTML document in FF3.
2. Click the Browse button and select any file on the local PC.
3. Click the Display button, which displays a popup with the filename only.
Actual Results:  
Only the filename is shown in the window, although the input box contains the full path.

Expected Results:  
The full path should be visible.

Attachment: HTML file with sample form

Save this file to your hard drive and open it with FF3.  The embedded script's only function is to display an alert.
