Question

I have an input type="file" button. After I choose a file, I have to read the contents of the file using javascript. Is it possible to read/get contents of a chosen file using javascript or ajax?

Answer 1

With AJAX its possible to read uploaded file but with pure javascript its not possible because javascript works on client side not on sever side.

if you are going to use jquery than Ajax call may be like this

$.ajax({
  url: "test.html",
  context: document.body,
  success: function(){
    $(this).addClass("done");
  }
});
