The DOM attribute does nothing on setting and on getting returns the filename. In case of multiple selected files Opera currently returns just the filename of the first. That can be changed, I do not really care. 23445 1 annevk 2009-02-04 13:25:08 +0000 FWIW, I forgot to mention we changed our policy in Opera 10 for compatibility reasons with deployed scripts. We return a fake path so scripts searching for something path-like will not break. From then on we will return: C:\fake_path\LEAFFILENAME It has been suggested to us that avoiding the underscore might be good, making it C:\fakepath\LEAFFILENAME We would be ok with that. 23707 2 annevk 2009-02-13 09:51:46 +0000 Please make the C uppercase. At least two implementations will start doing that and although lowercase might be slightly neater and consistent it's hardly worth the trouble. 33050 3 mjs 2010-03-14 13:16:46 +0000 This bug predates the HTML Working Group Decision Policy.
