Actually, the behavior is different when I use FireFox. Silly me, I’ve only been using IE to trace this issue. When I use FireFox and have an invalid path or file name, the inputFileUpload field is bank out then I get “This field is required” error since I require that field. Which is a much better behavior that what I get using IE. I did install the Live HTTP headers module in FireFox and I can see that the filename field is indeed clear out before it is sent to the server. Is there anything I can do for the IE users about this issue? thanks, Jorge
