I used this:
$('input[type=file]').val()
to get the file name selected, but it returned the full path, as in "C:\fakepath\filename.doc". The "fakepath" part was actually there - not sure if it's supposed to be, but this is my first time working with the filename of file uploads.
How can I just get the file name (filename.doc)?
var filename = $('input[type=file]').val().split('\\').pop();
or you could just do (because it's always C:\fakepath
that is added for security reasons):
var filename = $('input[type=file]').val().replace(/C:\\fakepath\\/i, '')
