Input type='file' x client side validation...

[joaoPaulo]

sorry about my english... I'm using a one input type='file' and one input type='submit' in a form with method='post'... Problem: - On InternetExplorer 6.0 (beta 7 too) when the value of input file is any garbage like 'sasdfa' the submit doesnt work. probably cause the IE know with 'sasdfa' is a invalid file.... On firefox the submit works fine.. What i Need: - I wanna know the same think IE knows(if the file is valid or not) at client side by javascript on form 'onSubmit' method. I dont want use a RegEx over the input file text value. I'm just looking for some way to know if the file is valid.. or not.. thanks! blitzkrieg bop!!

The best you can control for a FileControl in JavaScript is to see the fullPath (as a string) in JavaScript. You can not say whether the file is existing or its size. Only after the file gets submitted, you can check regarding whether some file came or its size.
