how to resolve the C:\fakepath?

the getImage() function returns the correct full path of the file selected in the tag in IE .. But it returns only the filename in firefox.. Please do help. I need the full path name in all browsers..

getImage()  {
    var location=document.getElementbyId("photo").value;
}

<body>
    <input type=file; id=photo;>
</body>

You most likely will not able to do this as its a security risk. — travis, Jul 30 '12 at 18:16

Newer implementations of browsers don't give you access to the full filenames. You'll just have to deal with it...
