Firefox returns just the filename eg myfile.txt and not the path to the file, and IE is returning the full path ie c:\mydir\myfile.txt I was wondering if anyone else had come across this or any ideas how to get them to behave the same?

Is there a .net forum around? If so I'd check there as somebody else is bound to have come across it. _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is. GAWDS Now where did I put that Doctype? (in reply to yogaboy)

Ok, I've found an answer through a bit of fiddling around with code, so I'll post it up incase anyone else comes across this with the same problem (how thoughtful I can be!

)

instead of accessing the filename through

string filename = File1.PostedFile.FileName;

where File1 is the id of the input control, use this instead

System.IO.Path.GetFileName(File1.PostedFile.FileName);

and to get the dir use System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName or any other overload you need. This will harmonize the returned values from FF or IE etc.
