But alert is not come when choice the new file in internet explore.

You can do two ways,
1.. Using HTML, add onchange
event inline
<input type="file" id="file_select" name="file_select" value="" onchange="alert('File selected')" />

2.. Using JS,
choicefile.onchange = function(){
alert('File selected')
}

Try with this:
choicefile.onchange = function() {alert("test");};
Your code seems correct. Something particular with IE is, if you put higher security level, you need to allow scripts and activeX content when you load the website.
There is actually a difference between setAttribute
and attachEvent
. Here is an example using attachEvent
(for IE) and addEventListener
(standards) to add the event.
Also, not that the event handler is a function, rather than a string:
var eventHandler = function () {
alert("Test");
}
if (choicefile.addEventListener) {
choicefile.addEventListener('change', eventHandler , false);
} else if (choicefile.attachEvent) {
choicefile.attachEvent('onchange', eventHandler );
}
try
onclick="javascript:alert('test');"
instead of onchange.
Old ie versions and compatibility modes don't support onchange very well.
