I am using JQuery to read filename selected by the user using val() method and it's working fine but it's breaking on IE. Can someone help?

var filename = $('[type=file]').val().split('\\').pop();

The above is working fine in chrome, safari and Mozilla but not in IE 10.

Maybe you should include some code!! – Carsten Løvbo Andersen Feb 07 '18 at 10:15
edit your question instead of adding code in the comment section – Carsten Løvbo Andersen Feb 07 '18 at 10:20

"Not working" is not a valid error. Please console.log before and after and tell us any console errors. There are browsers that return fakepath for example – mplungjan Feb 07 '18 at 11:51
