Hello experts,<br />
<br />
I am trying to obtain the absolute path of a file I selected using the &lt;input type=&quot;file&quot; name=&quot;someName&quot; id=&quot;someID&quot; /&gt;<br />
<br />
The problem is that it seems that in some browsers, this extracts the absolute path but in others it only extracts the relative path. Any suggestions on how to solve this issue? Any good strategy would be appreciated.<br />
<br />
Thank you.

How can I obtain the absolute path of a File using Javascript?

JavaScript is a dynamic, object-based language commonly used for client-side scripting in web browsers. Recently, server side JavaScript frameworks have also emerged. JavaScript runs on nearly every operating system and  in almost every mainstream web browser.
