<input type="file" name="file" multiple/>

The multiple attribute is new in HTML5 (Reference)

Here is a reference for multiple

Versions supporting `multiple` attribute

Chrome    Edge   Firefox   Opera   Safari
6.0       10.0   3.6       11.0    5.0

Why it doesn't work with Internet Explorer ?

Uploading multiple files is a specific part of HTML5 that none of the Internet Explorers support. Here is a reference to it. Though , IE 10.0 has started supporting it.

I found some related resources here and here

According to all above statistics , I might like to suggest you to read the second post of this which uses certain alternatives of multiple attribute :

If you can't or don't want to use multiple INPUT TYPE=FILE controls, you must use Flash or Silverlight or a custom ActiveX control
