File_field is not sticky in my Rails form

Question

I have a pretty standard Rails form:

<div>
    <h1>Create a New Listing</h1>
    <%- form_for @listing, :html => {:multipart => true} do |f| -%>
                    <div><%= f.label :title, "Title:"%> <%= f.text_field :title %></div>
            <div>
                <%= f.label :image, "Image:" %> <%= f.file_field :image 
            </div>
            <div>
                <%= f.label :sound, "Sound Clip:"%> <%= f.file_field :sound %><br />
            </div>
        <div class="submit"><%= f.submit 'Post Listing' %></div>
    <%- end -%>
</div>

When a user selects a file, but the form fails for validation purposes, he should always reselect the file. It is not sticky. Any suggestion on how to fix this?

Thank!

You cannot make the file field sticky, I think. Even if Rails provides the initial value, most browsers simply ignore it (or, otherwise, some smart-aleck can set the default file to /etc/passwd, and if you do not pay attention, then the following, that you know, your field is rooted.

:. , . , root. "" - , , - , Rails, , , .
