I need to return only the file name from an HTML input file.\[code\]<input type="file" id="whatever" />\[/code\]The JavaScript code im using to get the name of the file is:\[code\]document.getElementById("whatever").value;\[/code\]In firefox it gives only the file name which is what I want, but in IE I get the full path. I think that string manipulation is the only way to get the name.What would be the easiest/shortest way to get only the name (extension too) in JavaScript? Thanks.
