> Which sites? Any site that *requires* a Windows path clearly isn't interested in inter-operating with other browsers/platforms; heck, it means they've limited their testing to just Windows/IE. Don't punish the rest of us for their poor testing/programming. > My friend ! Welcome to the internet :) opera adopted this behavior because for a long time we were the only ones with only the file name. And for a long time we always had compatibility problems, and sites that simply refused to fix. I recall Orkut avatar upload (checked for ":" in input.value), and some router firmwares. So, while keeping the privacy of the user we added c:\fake_path for the reasons mentioned. It's a sad true, but it was necessary. > > - Bil > > > -- Jo?o Eiras Core Developer, Opera Software ASA, http://www.opera.com/
