title: How to get Cross Browser Compatibilty for window.fileReader API of HTML5
body: <p>Hi Html5 developers and HTML4 developers too...</p>
  
  <p>I want to know whether is there any way to support window.fileReader API of html5 in IE8 and above.</p>
  
  <p>the code below :</p>
  
  <pre><code>if(window.fileReader){
    alert("supported"); // in html5 works and fires alert but not in IE8 
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>Actually, i want to read the contents of file before submitting.</strong></p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Can i use some condition, if window.fileReader is supported then<br>
  follow 'A' line of code using HTML5 , else if window.fileReader is not supported then<br>
  use some other thing...to read the file</li>
  <li>I also want to know the way to read the file contents without using<br>
  HTML5 fileAPI... but not using ActiveXObject.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Waiting for the response..</p>
