Input file onChange IE

Question

I have the next code that works in chrome and firefox, however IE send 'undefined' message.

<input type="file" name="image" onchange="inputFileChange(this);"/>

function inputFileChange(el) {
    console.log($(el).context.files);
}

This is the result of console.log in firefox and chrome.

FileList
    0: File
        lastModifiedDate: Thu Dec 20 2012 19:01:23 GMT-0600 (Hora estándar central (México))
        name: "izq02_a.jpg"
        size: 69767
        type: "image/jpeg"

...and this is the result in IE

REGISTER: undefined

I need the filesize of the image before upload, any ideas?

IE10 has partial support for the file API, but earlier versions have none.

Here's an old question on the topic. People have used Flash solutions as a workaround (well and as the only way possible before the File API existed).

You can use CanIUse to check on browser support for various things, as well as HTML5Please.

Seems that I can do it using Scripting.FileSystemObject but it depends of IE security configuration. – a77icu5 Jan 31 '13 at 16:18
