Extremelly Quick Start in HTML

Question

I want to make a HTML page with two components on it: Button and Edit. If I press on button then OpenDialogFile executes. After choosing a file, I want to see it's full path (f.e. "C:/temp_folder/superText.txt") inside my Edit.

<body>
<h1>FileCreator Page!</h1>

<form action="createCSV" method="get">
    <input type="text" name="fileName" value="D:/">
    <input type="file" value="Choose CSV" title="Choose"> <!-- title is not working-->
    <input type="submit" value="Load file into DB">
</form>
<body>

@nightin_gale — You cannot achieve your stated goal, but as I can't see an app that tells the user where they just picked a file from and being a very useful one, your stated goal probably isn't your real goal. — Quentin, Jan 22 '14 at 13:56

Due to security reasons you can not set a value for an input type file tag. Look at this thread for further information to this topic: set value for input type file

Also there is no attribute called "title", the text shown on the button is predifined by the browser and can not be changed.
