I was wondering how can I get the value from the selected file. I am using
document.getElementById("file1").click()
so is it fine to use like this :
var v = document.getElementById("file1").click();

2[HTMLElement.click()](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLElement/click) doesn't return anything. So your `v` will be `undefined`. Are you looking for something like this? https://stackoverflow.com/a/29176118/1647737 – le_m May 26 '17 at 23:41

All i can do is direct you to a resource with lots of examples of what you can achieve with JavasScript and "Files". I hope you find it usefull. https://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/file/dndfiles/ Time for me to say godnight. – Thomas Wikman May 27 '17 at 00:10
