File upload

Hi, I have made an action in alfresco for the folders which displays an UI having browse button for taking files. So, clicking on this action it calls a ftl file which is having html and java script functions. In case of an internet explorer it gives me the real path from where i loaded the file

Hi,

Short answer is, with just javascript/html, you can't.
It actually is a privacy breach let websites know about the full path. When I'm uploading a file I'm OK to give them the file but not the whole path on my computer where it's located.
Which is why chrom, firefox and latest versions of IE hide the path.
More details here:

So if you really need the path for some reason, you'll have to use flash/java. I think with those you'll be able to retrieve it.
But I would recommend avoiding it.
