Multiple File Selection and Upload In IE (version < 9)

Question

The code am using to select multiple file(s) at a time and to upload them to server is :-

<html>
<body>
<form action="upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="myForm">
    <label for="myfile" style="cursor:pointer;">Click To Upload Photo(s)</label>:<input type="file" id="myfile" name="upload" multiple="multiple" />
    <br />
    <input type="submit" />
</form>
</body>
</html>

But it doesn't work in IE(version<9.0). Does Any one know how to select multiple files at a time in IE ? I have also tried BlueImp & valums File uploader for the same.

I would go for a flex/flash solution in browsers < IE9

You can't achieve that with pure HTML in older browsers. I recommend using Uploadify as a combination of jQuery + Flash solution.

You can read about multiple attribute for an input here. In my opinion it's still in early stages
