Question

I don’t even know if this is possible or not but is there a method you can take the value of the selected file in a input file field to a input text field?

Like this:

Answer 1

Hook on the change event of the file field.

<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    <input type="file" onchange="this.form.filename.value = this.value">
    <input type="text" name="filename">
</form>

Jsfiddle demo. Note that IE6/7 incorrectly gives the full path while other browsers correctly gives only the filename.
