Other - Document.getElementById not working in IE9
Hi guys,

I Hope you can help with this.

Code:
file = document.getElementById('fileToUpload').files[0];


This is working fine in Chrome and MF browsers, but doesn't in IE8. I get the error:
Webpage error details

User Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/4.0; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0)
Timestamp: Fri, 18 Jan 2013 18:13:52 UTC


Message: 'document.getElementById(...).files.0' is null or not an object

Why?


Thx..
Kr,
C.

I think it's OK now. I removed that (.files[0]), and then it works.

But I still can't display the content of the file.

In chrome, for example:
Code:
file.files[0].name;
works fine!! In IE8 not!

Are you using the onload event?
Code:
window.onload = function() {
//Your JavaScript code here.
}


Also, could you try and explain a little better what you are trying to do?

You cannot access the file, it would be (and was for a short time) a huge security hole in browsers. The only thing you can do is read the file name.

IE does not support Data Forms at all; I tried all possible ways I know and no way I can upload a txt using ajax instead of submit.
