This is a browser security feature that is implemented.
According to the specifications of HTML5
, a file upload control should not reveal the real local path to the file you have selected, if you manipulate its value string with JavaScript. Instead, the string that is returned by the script, which handles the file information is c:\fakepath
.
If you still want to get rid of this fakepath you may check out this site
