Display only file name in FileUpload control?

I'm pretty sure that isn't possible. You cannot set the value inside of the FileUpload control's textbox at anytime, via server side or client side script.

The FileUpload control is essentially an html As such, the browser determines how to render it. You have no control over this.

As others have said, the native file input control won't do this. You may be able to work around that with some overlaid styling of the control, however. Start here.It'll likely take a little bit of JavaScript to break out the file name from the path, display only the latter (in the custom non-control elements), but use both when it matters (in the control itself).

But it should be doable.

You can't change it via JavaScript either. It will not work as expected and will cause security exceptions – Scott Jan 17 at 18:58 @Scott Schluer: The idea here isn't to change the value on the control, but to hide the control from view and present the user with some custom elements which act like the control, pass events to it, but display only what the developer wants to display. – David Jan 17 at 19:01 Thanks for the link.

I didn't realize that jQuery had a custom control for this. The control shown on the page of the link is doing exactly what I need. I'll take a closer look at it and see if it's the solution that I'm looking for.

Your question reads like you specifically want to change the textbox value: " by default the full path to the file is shown in the textbox (which is also part of the control); however, I wish for it to only display the file name and not the full path.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
