title: How to implement HTML5 API features in older browser
body: <p>I'm using the features of the new browsers (HTML5 API - files prop) to get the size and the type of the uploaded files with jquery in this way.</p>
  
  <pre><code>$(function() {
      $('#myFile').bind('change', function() {
          //gets the size and the type of your file.
          var fsize = $('#myFile')[0].files[0].size; 
          var ftype = $('#myFile')[0].files[0].type; 
          alert("size : " + fsize + " type : " + ftype);
      });
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I would like to know if I can use external libraries (Modernizr, html5shim, etc) to implement these features 
  even on older browsers, such as IE8. </p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
