Question

Whenever the uploading process happens through the Browsers rather than IE, the path
belongs to the file from client side systems is showing like “c:/fakepath/x.jpg”..! I tried out lot of
Solutions from the web to rectify that, but nothing works..! If anybody successfully tackled this
problem before Just send me your solution..!
HTML code that i used

<form name="xx"  enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="up"/>
</form>

My Java script..

alert(document.xx.up.value);

But it is displaying “c:/fakepath/x.jpg” in all browsers except IE.

Answer 1

This is a browser security restriction. You can’t set the value of the file upload control via script, nor can you read the correct path.
