netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege('UniversalBrowserRead');
After granting priv to do this I was still unable to set the value of the FILE form element
(i.e. document.myForm.myFile.value="test" then alert(document.myForm.myFile.value) was blank {not undefined}; )
Any suggestions?

How do you do this with Internet Explorer (4.0 and above)?

i have this solution for IE
function uploadNewValue(newValue)
{
var fileName = document.getElementById("filMyFile");
var lngth = fileName.value.length;
if (fileName.value.length>0)
{
var valIndex = fileName.outerHTML.indexOf("value=");
var nameIndex = fileName.outerHTML.indexOf("name=");

var strBiggin = fileName.outerHTML.substring(0,valIndex);
var strEnd = fileName.outerHTML.substring(nameIndex,fileName.outerHTML.length);
fileName.outerHTML=strBiggin+" newValue='' "+strEnd;
}
}

Well that qualified this item as worth reading is just because of that I'm looking for such a thing. But the solution for IE mentioned by yaara seems to me that it is not working!!
Have somebody else another experience? Or does it depends on the browser version? We have here IE6.0. It is for internal application so security is not the most important issue!

The solution for IE does not work, and I'm guessing whoever suggested this never tested it.
When you inspect the outerHTML value of a type='file' input field, there is never any "value=" attribute,
and if you rewrite the html (with outerHTML), then reexamine the outerHTML, there is still no "value=".
