i am using this plug in for file upload

my problem is , when i click on 

<input type="file" class="upload" id="imgAuthorImageUpload" accept="image/gif, image/jpeg,image/jpg,image/bmp,image/pjpeg,image/png" />

imgAuthorImageUpload - the popup will open from explore and it will let you chose the file for upload

as soon as it start to upload, i want to show that file location on page,

for example,

if i chose animal.png from d drive picture folder: then i want to display something like this

D:/Pictures/animal.png

the code i wrote like this :

$("#imgAuthorImageUpload").fileupload({
        url: '/picture/DashBoard/pictureUpload.ashx',
        dataType: 'json',
        cache: false,
        async: true,
    }).on('fileuploadadd', function (e, data) {
        e.preventDefault();
    }).on('fileuploaddone', function (e, data) {
        alert("upload done");
        e.preventDefault();
    }).on('fileuploadprogress', function (e, data) {
        var percentVal = '0%';
        var percentVal = parseInt(data.loaded / data.total * 100, 10);
        $('.bar').css(
                'width',
                percentVal + '%'
            );
        $('.percent').html(percentVal + '%');
    }).on('fileuploadcomplete', function (e, data) {
        alert("Upload complete");
    });

For security reasons, browsers don't allow this.

A good explanation is provided here: Full path from file input using jQuery

  • +1 I agree Pratik, unnecessary downvote. You will not get the full path for security reasons - but you can get the file name, see [this](http://stackoverflow.com/a/24238200/3509874). – urbz Jun 30 '14 at 13:14
