I am using javascript/HTML in my code and I want to get the entire path (something like this:"C:\Users...\abc.jpg) for the image file I select without using ActiveX objects.But when I use input type file and select any image file it just shows the image name with extension(example abc.jpg) and not the entire path.Please suggest a solution for the same.

1You cant able to get the absolute path,Since it is a security feature in all modern browsers. – Raja Sekar Nov 03 '14 at 11:32

1Since this is impossible due to safety issues, most browsers give you a fake path similar to "fakepath\file_name". – Alex Nov 03 '14 at 12:22
