• You have "FileType" twice. I think the full path is not available for security reasons. – PepitoSh Commented Jun 8, 2018 at 5:09
• What do you mean by the FilePath? You mean the path on the local PC? If so, why do you want that? – mjwills Commented Jun 8, 2018 at 5:10
• I am selecting file from my local drive so i want selected file path – MathanKumar Commented Jun 8, 2018 at 5:14
• Possible duplicate of <input type=‘file’> for IE gives full path, need file name only – mjwills Commented Jun 8, 2018 at 5:15

This is not possible in JavaScript due to browser security considerations.

Like you, I used <input type="file"...> to allow user to select file they want me to pull data from, and now need to connect with that file to pull the data. My next attempt is bining event listener and loop to grab the file, path after it is selected.
