Reset the input type file field to blank

[programmer@blore]

Hi,
I am trying to submit a file (browse button), after which the field should be blank.As i have many other fields in the form I can't do reset:true.I just require the following field to be blank after form submit. Thanks in advance.
The file field:

uploadForm.add(

hedit_objFile =

new Ext.form.TextField({
allowBlank: true,
id: 'file_path',

inputType: 'file',
name: 'upload_file',
fieldLabel: 'File',
width:243,
height:22,
blankText: 'Please choose a file'
})
);

Thanks for your reply.

Sorry I forgot to mention that I am trying to set the value using
hedit_objFile.setValue('');
but it seems that it is not being compiled at all as the value is not being resetted.

And one more thing is that this code works perfectly in mozilla but in IE it not resetting the file's value in the form.

I have got the same problem with you.
Did you already solve this problem?

In my work, it works perfectly in Chrome 1.0.154.59 and Mozilla Firefox 3.0.1,
but failed in IE 7(means that setValue("") doesn't work)

Can any one help me?

Hi all, I see that this problem is for a long time, but today I get the same, than I found this thread (I don't know if the person found or solution or not, now I created a function to deal with this problem and I want to put it here if some one get this problem again the function is commented :

function clearFileUpload(id){
        // get the file upload element
        fileField     = document.getElementById(id);
        // get the file upload parent element
        parentNod     = fileField.parentNode;
        // create new element
        tmpForm        = document.createElement("form");
        parentNod.replaceChild(tmpForm,fileField);
        tmpForm.appendChild(fileField);
        tmpForm.reset();
        parentNod.replaceChild(fileField,tmpForm);
}

all what you have to make is calling this function with your element id (I tested well and it work 100% on FF and IE)
