How to get the fileName in javascript from input file tag in IE browser

Question

I have done this in jQuery, to get filename from input file tag, With jQuery it works perfectly.

Answer 1

I found the problem to be in getElementsByTagName method, you use this when you have a group of elements with the same tag name.

Try this code below, it works

//HTML



// JavaScript
document.getElementById('inp').addEventListener('change',prepareUpload,false);

function prepareUpload(event)
{
  var files = event.target.files;
  var fileName = files[0].name;
  alert(fileName);
}

Below is the code if you want to do it for more than one element
