Get the file name after click open button in file browse dialog box using JavaScript/jQuery

Question

Basically I am new in web development and I\'m facing a problem related to open file dialog box using JavaScript or jQuery my problem

Answer 1

I think this is right...Should produce a "Browse" button:

<input id="file_field" type="file"></input>

<button type="button" onclick="DisplayFilePath();">Display file path</button>

<script>
function DisplayFilePath(){
    alert($("#file_field").val())
}
</script>

Answer 2

Just get the value of the <input type="file" />.

Answer 3

try this:

<SCRIPT>
    function reverseData(val)       {var d="";var temp="";for (var x=val.length;x>0;x--) {d+=val.substring(x,eval(x-1));}return d;}
    function getFilename(val)       {val=escape(val);var reversedsrc=reverseData(val);var nameEnd=reversedsrc.indexOf('C5%');var name=reversedsrc.substring(0,nameEnd);name=reverseData(name);name=unescape(name);return name;}
    var daname='val';
    document.write('<INPUT TYPE="file" ID="val"><INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE="Get File Name" ONCLICK="alert(getFilename(window.document.getElementById(daname).value))">');
</SCRIPT>

put it into html file and test

Answer 4
