browser element
bmd
Hi
I want to use the browser element in a form but have it point outside of the workarea. Something like:
<browser extns=".ppt" initial-dir="c:\images" />
But the browser element won't a allow anything outside of the workarea. Is there any way around this??
Thanks

Not witin a
<browser>
element, no.
This has been covered, as Carl Sagan might have said, "Billions and billions" of times. Search through the archives. What most people end up doing is writing a custom CGI to browse to the locations that they want.
However, even if
<browser>
did
allow browsing outside of the workarea, I don't think it would help you. Based on your example, you want the user to browse outside of the TeamSite IFS altogether. Remeber,
<browser>
only allows you to point to a file - it won't copy the contents of that file into TeamSite. It's NOT a file upload facility.
