If just hitting refresh doesn't work - then no. This is a limitation, for security and privacy reasons, of the file input. It isn't possible for a webpage (in most browsers) to request a specific file from the user (Yes, I'll just have your password files thanks). I'd suggest running the validator against an http accessible version, since hitting refresh for that should work. If the worst comes to the worse you could install your own http server and the validator locally. -- David Dorward http://dorward.me.uk/
