How to get multiple files in Fileupload

Question

<input type="file" id="fup" multiple/>

alert($("#fup").val());

Here I am getting only single file in the alert() even though I am selecting multiple files. How can I get multiple files in the alert() with complete url path ?

Answer 1

Use the files collection of the underlying DOMElement:

var files = $('#fup')[0].files;
for (var i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
    console.log(files[i].name);
}

Working example

Also note that you shouldn't use alert() for debugging. It coerces the datatypes and is generally not a good idea. The console is always preferable.
