Not possible with the type of file. Use another element to display the filename i.e. then use document.getElementById('fupName').innerHTML = 'ddddd'. BTW the drive letter is not required. – Jan 09 '18 at 06:49

This is not possible. If this was possible every web site that you visit would be able to access your local files and upload them to a web server. – pitaridis Jan 09 '18 at 06:52

You cannot set a value to an input[type=file] element, because its very dangerous for a user. If the browser allow to do this then everyone will be able to get the files from the system of the user of a website, which is totally irrelevant for a user's privacy.

It is possible to set the value of an input[type=file] using the contents of an other input[type=file] but it is not possible to set the value of an input[type=file] using a local file. – pitaridis Jan 09 '18 at 06:54

1No, it;s not possible in any way to manipulate a `input[type=file]` data. You should you any other logic for the work you are trying to do – Shridhar Sharma Jan 09 '18 at 07:00
