Dynamically set value of a file input [duplicate]

by

It is not possible to dynamically change the value of a file field, otherwise you could set it to “c:\yourfile” and steal files very easily.

However there are many solutions to a multi-upload system. I’m guessing that you’re wanting to have a multi-select open dialog.

Perhaps have a look at http://www.plupload.com/ – it’s a very flexible solution to multiple file uploads, and supports drop zones e.t.c.
