title: What to use instead of FileReader for Safari?
body: <p>(Am new to web programming, so apologies for any lack of rudimentary knowledge.)</p>
  
  <p>My page allows a user to select a file that is then read clientside &amp; displayed in a textbox on the page.  The easiest way I found to do this was to use a FileReader object, which works fine in Firefox and Chrome.</p>
  
  <p>This doesn't work in Safari (yet), so what should I do instead?</p>
  
  <pre><code>//When the eventlistener detects a change in the input file...
  var file = evt.target.files[0]
  var reader = new FileReader();
  reader.onload = function (e){document.getElementById('data').value = e.target.result};
  reader.readAsText(file);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Relevant Notes:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>I'm working with Safari for windows</li>
  <li>Right now the page is local as is the file to read.  Chrome had issues with this until I used the flag --allow-file-access-from-files</li>
  </ul>
