kendo.ui.UploadSelectEvent file size is null in IE8

[Laksh]

Im using kendoUpload control to upload the file. Everything works fine in IE10, but as soon as I switch to IE8 mode the uploaded file size property remains null.
is it by design?

$importFiles.kendoUpload({
      async: {
          autoUpload: false,
          saveUrl: saveUrl,
          removeUrl: removeUrl
      },
      multiple: false,
      showFileList: true,
      select: (e: kendo.ui.UploadSelectEvent): void => {
          $selectMsg.show();
      },
      upload: (e: kendo.ui.UploadUploadEvent): void => {
          var file: any = e.files[0];

          // file.size is null in IE8
          if ((file.size != null) && (((file.size / 1024) / 1024) > allowedFileSizeInMB)) {
              showErrorModal('The selected file is too large.');
              e.preventDefault();
              $selectMsg.hide();
          }
      }
  });

Hi Laksh,


The size of the uploaded file cannot be retrieved in Internet Explorer 9 and earlier versions because of browser limitations and there is no workaround for this. This functionality is working in IE 10 and in every other modern browser.
