I need to fetch only file name right at the moment user selects any file from the dialog box (click on "Open" button after selecting file or just double click on the file itself).
Is there any event of the file control available that can be fired to fetch the file name once dialog box is closed

But simply i am talking about <input type="file" name="fileupload" id="fileupload" value=""> and i want to fetch file name once we select any file from the dialog box. – Neeraj Commented Oct 5, 2012 at 14:05

Reset to default 5Try this:
<html>
<head>
<script>
function get_filename(obj) {
var file = obj.value;
alert(file);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input type="file" name="file" value="" onchange="get_filename(this);" />
</body>
</html>
