Question

Is is possible to get the ABSOLUTE path to a file using JavaScript or jQuery? These are my trials so far but the closest I can get is just the filename.

    var filepath = $('input[type=file]').val();
    var test = this.files;
    var test2 = test[0];
    var test3 = test2.fileName;
    var test4 = test2.filePath;
    var test5 = test2.Name;
    var h = imageInput.value;
    var b = document.getElementById("AcademicPhotoId");
    var l = b.value;
    var binary = b.getAsBinary();
    $('.image-display img').attr('src', filepath);

Answer 1

No, that would be a security violation. (It could tell you the user’s name, etc. i.e. c:\Users\Kirk\Desktop\uploadedfile.txt)

Out of curiosity, why do you desire this information?
