Hi all,
This piece of code retrieves the full path of where the file is located. How can I make it retrieve the filename and not the full path?

<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="ddd">
file: <input type="file" name="filename" id="filename" />
<p>find out value of file. click --> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="find out" onclick="alert(document.getElementById('filename').value);return false;" /></p> 
</form>

The value returned will be something like C:/My Documents/New Folder/image.jpg.

I want to get the "image.jpg" only.

Add this code

<script type="text/javascript">
function getFileName(fileName)
{
var ar = fileName.split("/");
return ar[ar.length-1];
}
</script>

before that form

In your case instead of

alert(document.getElementById('filename').value);r eturn false;

add

alert(getFileName(document.getElementById('filenam e').value));return false;
