How come IE 9 does not support input type="file" multiple like other browsers do?
<form action="#" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" multiple name="uploads[]" />
<input type="submit"/>
</form>
How can I make it work on IE?

Tip: For <input type="file"> : To select multiple files, hold down the CTRL or SHIFT key while selecting. Tip: For <input type="email"> : Separate each email with a comma, like: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] in the email field.
For limiting maximum items on multiple inputs, use JavaScript. Through this, limit the number of files to be uploaded. For example, let's say only 2 files to be uploaded at once. You can try to run the following code to learn how to use multiple attributes in HTML.
Uploading multiple files is a specific part of HTML5 that none of the Internet Explorers support.

IE should support multiple according to this doc:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/hh772307(v=vs.85).aspx
But even so, their own example does not work with IE9 for me..
<input type="file" multiple="multiple" onchange="for (var i = 0; i < this.files.length; i++) { document.write(this.files[i].name ) };" />
When the onchange event fires, the files property doesn't appear to exist for the HTMLInputElement in IE, whereas in Chrome it does.
Update: this doc apparently doesn't apply to IE9. IE 10 is said to support the File API. Let's hope it will be released soon.
