Multiple file value in javascript

Question

I was trying to get names of all the files being browsed through file input.

For a single file I know this :

var validfile=document.forms["filesharing"]["file"].value;

But problem is what if i have multiple files browsed ?

HTML :

<form method=post action="stegnographyonshares" enctype="multipart/form-data" onsubmit="return formvalidations()" name="filesharing"> 
    <input type="file" name="file" value="file" id="file" multiple="multiple"/> 
</form>

Please show the HTML of the form.

You can access using the files property of file upload control.

var lstFiles = document.forms["filesharing"]["file"].files;

for(var i=0; i < lstFiles.length; i++) {
    var f = lstFiles[i];

    alert(f.name);
}
