I have a form that allows the user to choose a check box to delete a file on the server or choose a 'BROWSE' button to upload a file from there computer to overwrite a file on the server. The 'BROWSE' button is created with the INPUT TYPE='FILE' html. This create two items on the screen a Text Box and a 'BROWSE' button. Pressing the 'BROWSE' button will allow the user to choose a file from their local computer and once chosen the file path shows up in the text box.
My question is how can I get javascript to allow only one choice. If the user checks the box then I want the text box that the INPUT TYPE='FILE' to be cleared out and if the user uses the 'BROWSE' button to retrieve a file I want the check box to be unchecked.
I know how to get the check box unchecked, but I cannot clear out the text box associated with the 'BROWSE' button.
I have tried document.form.uploadfile.value = '', but it seems that the value property is readonly for the INPUT TYPE='FILE' and the 'BROWSE' button is the only thing that can update the text box value.
Any help would be appreciated.
