Details

If you use the following HTML snippet on a Mac: <form action="mailto:cpratt@netscape.com"> <input type=file size=20 name=file value=myfile> </form> after selecting a file you see something such as /Macintosh HD/Desktop Folder/apprunner although I'd expect you'd see something such as Macintosh HD:Desktop Folder:apprunner

Target Milestone: M8
Invalid. The path returned by the File Widget should contain slashes as separators. You can verify with Communicator on the following page: http://marvin.mcom.com/whitebox/tools/Event%20Tools/16-1.html Click the Browse button, select a file and look at the result in the text area.

Resolution: INVALID → ---
Invalid in the sense that I didn't report this bug correctly. IE 4.5 and Communicator 4.51 behave differently than apprunner at this point. Expected behavior is this: that the file name itself (only!) is shown in the selection widget. Changing description and reopening bug.

It's fixed now. It was a cross-platform bug.
Status: RESOLVED → REOPENED
using the 1999060119 build on Mac OS 8.6, the complete path to the file is displayed - which is wrong. using the 1999060108 build on NT, the path is not displayed, which is correct behavior. therefore, i'm reopening this bug as it does not appear to be fixed on Mac OS.

Using build 1999060209, it appears to work on the Mac. Maybe were you using an M6 build instead of M7? Marking fixed again.
Whiteboard: Waiting for build that accepts manually entered URLs
Using the 1999061108 build under Mac OS 8.6, it won't let me manually enter a URL... so this is waiting for a newer build...
Please don't recycle bug reports. If you can verify that the mac file selection control no longer displays complete paths, mark it as such. Then if you think that not allowing you to manually enter an URL is a bug, open a separate bug report but it is likely to be closed as Invalid or WontFix because that's the way it always worked in Communicator.
