File Selection with HTML

Hello,
  I am having an issue with HTML file selection.  On my page if a value that the
user selected is displayed in the file selection text field and then a submit
button is selected the value disappears if the submit had an error.  The html
page has text values and a file selection value that are validated upon submit.
If the validation fails the page returns with an error message.  All the text
values remain but the value in the file selection text field is gone.  I can see
it in the 'VALUE=' field if I view the source code but it does not display on
the page.  Has anyone ran across this issue before?  It happens with IE 5.5 and
Netscape 4.77.  Any help is appreciated.
