For browsers which support multiple file selection[^], you'll need to use the files property[^]:

JavaScript

$("input[type='file']").change(function(){
    if (this.files){
        alert($.map(this.files, function(f){ return f.name; }).join("\n"));
    }
    else {
        alert(this.value);
    }
});

In supported browsers, each item in the files array is a File[^] object, which has other useful properties you might want to look at.
