<![CDATA['..Fakepath....']]>I am trying to post a photo to a site and keep getting the error C:\fakepath.... I have tried adjusting Internet Explorer, even though I do not use it, to allow full paths. That did not work. Is there anywhere in Opera to allow a path to my photos? I can post photos to other sites, could this just be a problem with the site I want to post to?

I have tried it on Chrome and it still comes up with the same problem. I have contacted the site owners and await their reply.

C:\fakepath

For <input type="file"> in HTML, when you get the value property of it with Javascript, the path is prefixed with C:\fakepath\ for security reasons. See https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/input.html#fakepath-srsly for more information.

I would guess then that if the site is trying to get the filename via this method, the code is not stripping the C:\fakepath\ part. In other words, it sounds like a site problem.

Now, if things work fine in other browsers (including Chrome), I'd try using an extension in Opera to mask as Chrome to see if things work then.

Maybe I will contact them and check whether it is a problem with them. Cheers.
