Ok, I sense resistance to putting it in .name. What about .path, undefined<br>
in most cases except where there is an upload including files from multiple<br>
directories, in which case .path contains the path less any path components<br>
common to all 3 (sorry, it's early morning and I can't write well before<br>
having coffee).<br>
<br>
e.g.<br>
<br>
input.files[0].name="1.jpg"<br>
input.files[0].path="a/b"<br>
input.files[1].name="2.jpg"<br>
input.files[1].path="a/b"<br>
input.files[2].name="3.jpg"<br>
input.files[2].path="a/c"<br>
<br>
(Need to figure out the exact wording, as "a" is common to all 3 but if<br>
you're uploading the entire directory "a", it may make sense to include that<br>
in the path -- but I don't feel quite as strongly about that -- subfolders<br>
are certainly more important IMO.)<br>

Note that extensions to File should be discussed on <a href="mailto:public-webapps@w3.org" target="_blank">public-webapps@w3.org</a>. At least, that's where they have been so far.<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br>

For the sake of wrapping up this thread though, are there there any changes that would need to be made to the HTML spec to allow this behavior (including limited path information in the name that gets sent when the form is posted?) I can't seem to find the actual part of the spec that defines or restricts what characters are valid in context. </div>
