Currently I was able to upload the file using selenium webdriver version 2.42.00 with browser chrome while I couldn't able to do it the same with Internet Explorer version 11.
driver.findElement(By.id("fileUpload")).sendKeys(filePath);
where id = fileUpload is for input element with type=file and this field is a hidden field.
Any thoughts on it:
