File upload control in HTML5

File upload control is a value to the type attribute which can be written as {type="file"} inside an <input> element.

It is used to choose the files in the system and upload into the internet.

<form>
<h3>Fileupload control</h3>
<input type="file" name="file1"/>
</form>

In the above code snippet we used value "file" to the type attribute for creating fileupload control.

Onclick of the button "Choose File" in the output redirects the user to the machine (currently using machine) in a separate window.

NOTE: In this case we can add only one file at a time.
