Answer 1

Try adding the onchange attribute, this will call functions when changes have been made to that input.

Demo

function loadFileAsText(){
var fileToLoad = document.getElementById("fileToLoad").files[0];
var fileReader = new FileReader();
    fileReader.onload = function(fileLoadedEvent){ 
        document.getElementById("inputTextToSave").value = fileLoadedEvent.target.result;
    };
fileReader.readAsText(fileToLoad, "UTF-8");
}

Select a File to Load:
