title: Setting value of file input programmatically
body: <p>I have already read up on this <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1017224/dynamically-set-value-of-a-file-input">here</a>, and know that it is impossible due to security restrictions, however I have a few more specific questions about this.</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>What about for a machine that is not connected to the internet? Are there any chrome settings that I could set in order to allow this?</li>
  <li>What would happen if I were to change the input type to <code>text</code> and then add the file path and proceed to submit the form? will it work for selecting a file to run? I cannot test this because I am working with a router UI through HTML and while it may seem like it is working when I hit submit I can't tell if it is actually changing anything</li>
  </ol>
