I'm using the features of the new browsers (HTML5 API - files prop) to get the size and the type of the uploaded files with jquery in this way.
$(function() {$('#myFile').bind('change', function() {
//gets the size and the type of your file.
var fsize = $('#myFile')[0].files[0].size;
var ftype = $('#myFile')[0].files[0].type;
alert("size : " + fsize + " type : " + ftype);
});
});
I would like to know if I can use external libraries (Modernizr, html5shim, etc) to implement these features
even on older browsers, such as IE8.
Thanks.
Older Browsers doesn't support HTML5, so any of these features can't be implemented.
