How to get full path in file browse item
Hi
I have a file item. When I submit the form and store and value in db, then the file path is stored as numbers and appended to the file name. I undestand that this is because of some wwv flow files index or something . How to get the file path? Anybody...
For security/privacy reasons recent versions of browsers by default do not send local file path information from File Browse items to the server, nor expose the file path in the control's JavaScript methods. Firefox, Safari and Chrome only provide the filename. IE6 & IE7 still yield the path in Windows format. IE8 and Opera have adopted an irritating approach of replacing the path with a wholly imaginary "C:\fakepath\".
Changes to IE's security config can enable the path to be exposed in IE8, but I don't think it will be available via <tt>apex_application_files</tt>.

Weird problem while Extracting File path from file Browser item
Hi all
I followed some tutorials on this forum to get the absolute filepath from the filebrowser item and storing it in the database.
Heres what I did. I created a script in the header of the page which reads like this:
<script language="JavaScript1.1" type="text/javascript">
function SaveFullName(filepath,feed)
function getVal(item)
if(document.getElementById(item).value != "")
return document.getElementById(item).value;
else
return "";
document.getElementById(filepath).VALUE = getVal(feed);
alert(document.getElementById(filepath).VALUE);
</script>
I have call this function by this syntax which I have put in the onchange event handler of the file browser item.
onChange="javascript:SaveFullName('CCDPATH','CCDFILEBROWSER');"
Here CCDPATH is the name of the hidden item which I use to store the path and CCDFILEBROWSER is the name of the filebrowser in question.
now the last statement of the script above, alert(), gives me an alert with the proper value. The problem is when I am trying to store the value of this variable CCDPATH in my database with an onsubmit process, NULL values are getting inserted :-(
When I checked out in the debug mode, I can see that the value of this hidden item, CCDPATH is showing as "" , i.e; null. Why is this happening is out of my understanding.
I mean, with the javascript, it is assigning and displaying its value perfectly, but when I try to store it with PLSQL, it simply does'nt happen.
What am I possible doing wrong? What should I do to store the value of this hidden item in the database ??Any thoughts people?

How to get full path using HTP.PRINT(' "input type ="file") ....
Hello everybody,
I am working on uploading file from page to another one using HTP package, but whenever I submit the form, it only takes the filename without the full path.
for example :
if i sent 'c:\dir\a.txt' , the other page receives file parameter as 'a.txt'
the code is here
PROCEDURE upload(appno in varchar2,wsct in varchar2) AS
l_real_name VARCHAR2(1000);
BEGIN
HTP.htmlopen;
HTP.headopen;
HTP.title('Test Upload');
HTP.headclose;
HTP.bodyopen;
HTP.header(1, 'Test Upload');
HTP.print('<form action="https://ssltrng.uaeu.ac.ae/trng/document_api.upload1" method="get">');
HTP.print(' File to upload: <input type="file" name="file" >
HTP.print(' <input type="submit" value="Upload">');
HTP.print('</form>');
HTP.bodyclose;
HTP.htmlclose;
END upload;
the other page see it as
file is 'Water lilies.jpg'
Thanks
Edited by: dtabed on Mar 30, 2011 1:02 AMDo not understand the problem.
The code you've posted is a PL/SQL web enabled procedure that produces a dynamic HTML page. This page contains a form. And a full URL reference to the CGI that will process the form's data.
This is unusual - as it seems to be that the form is submitted across domains and web servers.. You usually refer to a local CGI procedure to deal with a form - no need for a fully qualified URL that includes web server and domain name.
If the CGI procedure that receives the form is also a PL/SQL web enabled procedure, that the uploaded file will be placed in the documents table (as defined in the DAD alias) by mod_plsql, prior to the web enabled procedure being called. The documents table will contain the Mime type, file name, file contents and other details. -
How to get full path of a file uploaded using file control on a jsp ?
Hi all...
I have a jsp on which i am using a file element (input type="file") to upload files present on the physical file system.. Thats working fine.. But i want to retrieve the full path of the file uploaded for further computation.
What are the possible ways which can give me the full path ?? (e.g. "D:\data\text\Output.txt" )
Thanks all for attending the question..
Regards
PrasadSome browsers send the full path. Some do not.
You can not affect this in any way shape or form.
All you can count on receiving is a filename - no path information.
So you will have to have some other way for the user to pass along this information.
If they are uploading to a "remote web site" they could specify a folder to put the uploaded file in.
You could classify it and put all image files in "images" and all script files in "scripts" etc etc by default, and let the user deal with it in their own HTML.
Hope this helps,

How to get full Path using sADMBasic- StandardGetDirectoryDialog on mac
hi,
While implementing a plug-in, I am using sADMBasic->StandardGetDirectoryDialog to prompt a dialog to select the folder.code is as follow-
SPPlatformFileSpecification outResult = {NULL};
Boolean isDirSelected = sADMBasic->StandardGetDirectoryDialog("Select folder Location", NULL, &outResult);
In window, I am getting the fullpath in outResult.path. but in Mac ,I am getting 3 things outResult.vRefNum,outResult.parID,outResult.name.
suppose anyone selected the desktop when dialog prompt. The outResult.name contains only the string like"a\ desktop ".And parId contains a integer no.
But I want fullpath like User/Desktop. is there any way to get the fullpath from these variables?
thanks

File dialog box: how get full path and filename (firefox 3.0 problem)
Hi,
I have a smilar problem then discussed in this thread: file dialog box: how get full path and filename
Now this solution doesn't seem to work in firefox 3.0,I only get the filename but not the full path.
I have tried to solve this problem by adding *"netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege("UniversalFileRead");"* in a javacript function but that doesn't do the trick
Although when i tested it local it does work.
Any idees how to solve this?
Best Regards
StijnActually, that is strange and scarry. With 20% of the browser market share they decide to behave like Microsoft did in the past - they want to decide what users need and what they do not need. With 3.0 I have a real problem with some of my applications. They are all tested in IE6, IE7, FF2.0 and they all work the same way (they even work with Opera and Safari). Now, I will for sure not go there and make it work for 3.0, just because 2 out of 200 users use FF3.0. Up to now I have always recomended FF as the best browser. 3.0 causes my opinion to change completely. Competition is always good but it is a question if it is good if we have 20 different browsers out there with equal market shares.

How to set "Files of type" when using a "File Browse" item.
Apex 4.0.2
Internet Explorer 7 +
I have a "File Browse" item on a page and need to limit the types of files display to just "text (.txt)" files. How can this be done? Currently, the "Files of type" list shows "All File (*.*)", "Pictures (*.gif,*.png)", and HTML (*.htm,*.html)". In the best case, I would like to not have the "Files of type" list and have the user just limited to text files. However, adding Text files (*.txt)" to the "Files of type" list is ok.
thanks,
WilliamThought i'd do a bit of research after seeing Scotts wonderful ideas.
So it turns out, IE made the file item read only from version 8, for security reasons. Read more: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2008/07/02/ie8-security-part-v-comprehensive-protection.aspx
File Upload Control
Historically, the HTML File Upload Control (<input type=file>) has been the source of a significant number of information disclosure vulnerabilities. To resolve these issues, two changes were made to the behavior of the control.
To block attacks that rely on “stealing” keystrokes to surreptitiously trick the user into typing a local file path into the control, the File Path edit box is now read-only. The user must explicitly select a file for upload using the File Browse dialog.
Additionally, the “Include local directory path when uploading files” URLAction has been set to "Disable" for the Internet Zone. This change prevents leakage of potentially sensitive local file-system information to the Internet. For instance, rather than submitting the full path C:\users\ericlaw\documents\secret\image.png, Internet Explorer 8 will now submit only the filename image.png.To resetting the actual items, suggestions I found were to replace the actual item. So instead of using $s, I just replace the element, with the existing element, causing it to re-initialise.
var htmldb_delete_message='"DELETE_CONFIRM_MSG"';
function fileCheck(el){
if(el.value){
var validFile = false;
var validExtensions = ["csv"];
var filename = el.value;
var fileExtIndex = filename.lastIndexOf(".");
var fileExt = filename.substring(fileExtIndex+1, filename.length);
for(i = 0; i < validExtensions.length; i++){
if(validExtensions[i] == fileExt){
validFile = true;
break;
if ( !validFile || fileExtIndex == -1) {
alert("Invalid Extension. Permitted files must end with: " + validExtensions.toString());
var htmlContents = el.outerHTML || new XMLSerializer().serializeToString(el);
$('#P16_BINARY').replaceWith(htmlContents);
}(obviously, replacing what you need to, to suit your page - i prefer scotts idea of passing in supported file types in the function, so would just pass in an array instead; but this is just for demonstration)
with an onchange="checkFile(this)" on the element attributes.
On a slightly un-related note, I found out IE doesn't support the wonderful indexOf function on arrays, that checks for the existence of the value in an array. Sucks.

How to populate DB column with filename from file browse item?
Hi,
Using APEX 3.1.2, I'm trying to easily allow maintenance of a filename stored in a DB column (VARCHAR2(1000)). Using the column as a file browse item seemed to be the way to go, but of course I don't want the resulting file to be uploaded and it appears as though an existing filename is not shown in a form when the row is retrieved.
After much searching, I found Checking filename length in File Browse item before uploading , but I'm not able to connect the dots. I was thinking that I could create a hidden file browse item and use a button to call Javascript function to activate it, then save the resulting filename to my DB column item and wipe out the hidden item before it was uploaded. But the hidden item doesn't appear, so I'm not able to reference it's form input name.
Hopefully this mess makes sense. Anyone?
Thanks!
Rich
Edited by: socpres on Sep 5, 2008 2:02 PM because message was truncated after attempting to preview it first.Hi John,
From what I can tell, the path of a local file browsed from a file browse item cannot be retrieved because of security concerns. Although, it seems that while Firefox 3 only returns the filename sans directory, IE6 returns the full path:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en" dir="ltr">
<head><title>Form Test</title>
</head><body>
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
function GetDirectory()
strFile = document.FileForm.filename.value;
intPos = strFile.lastIndexOf("\\");
strDirectory = strFile.substring(0, intPos);
alert(strDirectory);
document.FileForm.Directory.value = strDirectory;
</script>
<form id="FileForm" name="FileForm">
<input type="file" id="filename" name="filename" value="" onChange="GetDirectory(this.value)">
<input type="hidden" id="Directory" name="Directory" value="">
</form>
</body>
</html>
This Win-specific code displays the path via IE6, but not in Firefox 3. Then again, I can't seem to preview posts here using FF3, either...
