Form: File Uploader Object

Post by AliGW »

I am using the File Uploader object from the Toolbox on my form. It works fine, but when I upload an image to my form, I get this:

Code: Select all

C:\fakepath\Impact of Coastal Erosion - Ali Wright.jpg
Any idea why it says 'fakepath'? Might be a bit disconcerting for my users seeing this!

Thank you. :D

This is standard browser behavior, it has nothing to do with WWB.

C:\fakepath\
is a security feature in modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge) that hides your computer's actual file structure from websites. Instead of showing the true path (e.g., C:\Users\Name\Documents\file.pdf), the browser replaces it with this generic placeholder. It does not indicate an error, and the file will upload normally.
