How to get full path of file while selecting file using <input type=‘file’>

<input type="file" id="fileUpload">
<script type="text/javascript">
function getFilePath(){
     $('input[type=file]').change(function () {
         var filePath=$('#fileUpload').val(); 
     });
}
</script>

but the filePath var contains only name of selected file, not the full path.
I searched it on net, but it seems that for security reasons browsers (FF,chrome) just give name of file.
Is there any other way to get full path of selected file?
