{{Ambox|type=notice|text=In Joomla! 1.5, [[Form field|form fields]] were [[Parameter|parameters]]. For that version, you may want to use the corresponding [[Text parameter type]].}}

Intro: todo

* '''type''' (mandatory) must be ''file''.
* '''name''' (mandatory) is the unique name of the field.
* '''label''' (mandatory) (translatable) is the descriptive title of the field.
* '''default''' (optional) (not translatable) is the default value, but doesn't mean much for a file.
* '''description''' (optional) (translatable) is text that will be shown as a tooltip when the user moves the mouse over the drop-down box.
* '''size''' (optional) is the width of the file box in characters.
* [http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_input_accept.asp '''accept'''] (optional) Tells the browser what MIME types your form will allow to be uploaded.
* '''class''' (optional) is a CSS class name for the HTML form field.
* '''disabled''' (optional) HTML equivalent attribute
* '''onchange''' (optional) HTML equivalent attribute
* '''required''' (optional) For Joomla form validating it to be filled in
* '''validate''' (optional) Whether to Joomla validate the field according to rules
* '''onchange''' (optional) HTML equivalent attribute (javascript use)

'''Note:'''
You should always add the attribute enctype="multi-part/form-data" to your form tag when using the file input type. Otherwise, the uploaded files will not be attached correctly.

'''Note 2:'''
You can put a soft limit file size by adding a hidden field with name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" and value the maximum allowed bytes which is handled by php, but you must also handle it in your code with or without it.
Example XML field definition:

<source lang="xml"><field name="myfilevalue" type="file" label="Enter some text" description="Choose an image from your computer with maximum 100KB" size="10" accept="image/*" /></source>
