How can I get file from input in IE8?

How I can get file in IE(8) like this:

<input id="files" type="file">

开发者_高级运维<script>
    var file = this.files[0]; //(FF, Chrome)
</script>

for uploading?

You can't.
IE8 doesn't support this feature.

Native file input boxes do not have the files attribute in IE8. However when the user selects a file its URL becomes the value of the input element, so there is no problem to retrieve it.
