[thelist] type=file query

[jon steele]

The type="file" field has many extra restrictions, unlike other form fields.

One is that you can not set it's value using a value attribute. Second, you have limited access to
its attributes via javascript (no, you can't set the value using js either ;).

These security restrictions have been implemented so a malicious website does not just set the
value of the form field to whatever they want, then use javascript to submit the form without the
user knowing. If this was allowed sites would be upping whatever file they wanted from anyone!
