title: Current IE doesn't support file upload using Selenium Webdriver 2.42.000
body: <p>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.</p>
  
  <pre><code>driver.findElement(By.id("fileUpload")).sendKeys(filePath);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>where <code>id = fileUpload</code> is for input element with <code>type=file</code> and this field is a hidden field.</p>
  
  <p>Any thoughts on it:</p>
