I know File API of HTML5 is not supported in any version of IE.But is there any work around to get file information (size,type) before uploading it to server using javascript. I need to check size of file before uploading it. File Api does the work for me, but not for IE. I need it to support for IE as well

  • Only File API can get the file information from file input elements. There's no other way except via plugin, if a web browser doesn't support it yet, really. – Jay Nov 05 '12 at 19:09

In pure JS it is not possible.

Javascript does not have access to local files, due security reasons.

You can use this library, to do what you want: http://code.google.com/p/swfupload/
