I need the full client path of the file on the server side so that I can use a library to get text from the document. It appears that due to security reasons, IE8 replaces the file name with

C:\fakepath\document.doc

Is there a way to get the full path to the file name?

    Only if the user enables that setting (disabled by default) in IE8 can you send the full path.

    Tools >> Internet Options >> Security tab >> Custom Level (for selected zone) >> Misc section, check Enable for “Include local directory path when uploading files to a server”.
