           Summary: Allow assignment to value attr of input[type=file]
                    elements via ObjC DOM API
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 526+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: HTML DOM
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: todd at ditchnet.org


Given an HTML element in a DOM:

<input type="file">

AFAICT, you cannot programmatically set the value of the "value" attribute of
this element via the ObjC DOM API. 

I understand that JavaScript is not allowed to set the value of the "value"
attr due to security restrictions. But it seems that ObjC should be allowed to
set this value attribute, as it wouldn't be a security risk, no?

thx!
