Get Path Information From Input Type="file" In Firefox?
Feb 4, 2009
I'm posting this here because I think JavaScript is probably the only way to do it, but if anyone can point me elsewhere, that's fine.
In a bespoke CMS (not a publicly accessible application), I need to let my user upload files that are beyond the server's file upload size for http. I can use PHP to do this via ftp, but to do so I need the full path to the source file, which I could then pass in a hidden field. However, the value of the file input field only returns the filename, not the full path. I understand that this is for security reasons, but is there any way round it?
I've tried jumping through all manner of hoops to try and select the text in the field - which does show the full path of the browsed file - in order to put it in the hidden field, but so far I've failed. And I must do this in FF3 for various reasons.

capturing just the file name rather than the entire path of the SRC on my input type="image". Basically when I hover over an image, the Default Image should change to the image being hovered on. Here is my code, can't quite get it to work. Sorry I'm very new to JavaScript
<html>
<head>
<script language = "Javascript">
function ChangeDefault(src)
{
//document.frmMain.DefaultImage.src = src <--Doesn't work at all
alert(src) //<---Displays the entire file path, want just file name
[Code]...

I've got a major headache with IE in that I have a support form that allows users to submit tickets with files which is then emailed off.
Using javascript, jQuery and PHP I have everything under control with all of our favourite browsers - but then comes along IE.

<!-- file -->
<div class="fileUploadEntry">

I'm using a script to include images into a slide show using direct URLs to the image files, but I am using fckeditor (PHP) for my users to edit their content. The script in the .js file that pulls the images into the slide show.The user's image file is going to be named something like, "userImage01.php". Inside that file would be their image location path ~ "images/user/image1.jpg".Therefore, I need the above javascript to pull-in "userImage01.php" INSTEAD OF the image's location path.

How can I get the full path name in google chrome to display image and to store it in web database.
If you have some other options to display and store the image in web database using javascript and html5

I know that the input "file" type can't be customized very well using css, so I figured I might try to make my own with javascript. The only problem is, I don't know too much about javascript. point me in the right direction on how to make my own custom file upload box in javascript that works the same way as the default one works (so I don't have to edit my PHP coding). Also, heres something I'd like to achieve: [URL]

example with <ol> as parent.
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
var gFiles = 0;
function addFile() {
var li = document.createElement('li');
li.setAttribute('id', 'file-' + gFiles);
li.innerHTML = '<input type="file" name="file[]"><span onclick="removeFile('file-' + gFiles + '')" style="cursor:pointer;">Remove</span>'
document.getElementById('files-root').appendChild(li);
gFiles++;
}
function removeFile(aId) {
var obj = document.getElementById(aId);
obj.parentNode.removeChild(obj);
}
--></script>
<span onclick="addFile()" style="cursor:pointer;">Add</span>
<ol id="files-root">
<li><input type="file" name="file[]">
</ol>
example using table:
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
var gFiles = 0;
function addFile() {
var tr = document.createElement('tr');
tr.setAttribute('id', 'file-' + gFiles);
var td = document.createElement('td');
td.innerHTML = '<input type="file" name="file[]"><span onclick="removeFile('file-' + gFiles + '')" style="cursor:pointer;">Remove</span>'
tr.appendChild(td);
document.getElementById('files-root').appendChild(tr);
gFiles++;
}
function removeFile(aId) {
var obj = document.getElementById(aId);
obj.parentNode.removeChild(obj);
}
--></script>
<span onclick="addFile()" style="cursor:pointer;">Add</span>
<table><tbody id="files-root">
<tr><td><input type="file" name="file[]"></td></tr>
</table>
I did the ol one first then he said he wanted it as a table for some reason.. so here they are..

Is is possible to populate a form input of type "file" with javascript?
Here is the code snippet from the form:
Code:
<div>
Media file: <input type="file" name="mediaFile[]" id="mediaFile1" onChange="duplicateEntry(this.value);" />
</div>
[Code]....
keep in mind that these are just code snippets and if this is possible, I'd just like to know how to do it.

I'm trying to put in place a file upload validation check. So at the client-side, the User selects a file. Before uploading, at the GUI, if the file exceeds an imposed limit, it will prompt the User that it exceeds the permitted size for upload.
And if it is within the permitted size, the full file path of the file to be uploaded will then be obtained and then used for the actual upload to the Server.
My program is built on EXTJS and Java, running using Tomcat. Browser restricted to Internet Explorer 7 only.

I have one html-file where the user inserts a search path for an excel file. When the user clicks the button the data in the excel file should be presented in a <TABLE>. (Yeah, I know, activex only works in IE .. but that's good enough for this project)
The problem is .. I started out with a "fixed" search path for the excel file, so I didn't have the code in a function. That worked just fine. Once I added the function {} around the code it wouldn't work, it works just fine if I comment out the form-part and the function-part, and give the search path, of course.
It also works just fine if I use the function and form, but remove the <TABLE>- and <TR>-rows

I have a webpage where I want the user to input filenames. To make this easier,
I use a file input type so that the user can select files rather than typing in
the filename, using the HTML below.
<input type="file" size="25" maxlength="256" id="filename" onchange="AddFile()"/>
The problem I have is that the javascript function AddFile() is only run under
Internet Explorer, and not under Mozilla. I need the function to run each time a
file is selected as the filenames are added to a text box (the user is creating
a list of files).
Is there some way of having this work under Mozilla?

I have set up a script on my page which automatically reads the files in a specific directory on the server and displays them in a nice file tree on my website so users can download the files. Here is the script: http://abeautifulsite.net/blog/2008/...ery-file-tree/Here is the script in action on my website: http://ligonier-in.org/onlineservice...ents_test.htmlThe plugin is working fine as far as finding the files and displaying them. However, the root folder where the files are stored is not the directory you would go to to access the actual files.
Long story short, the script is trying to download the file at

I need to 'parse' that url and force it to download the file from:

I recently upgraded to jQuery 1.4 from 1.2.x and have found that the following code, which previously worked across all browsers, no longer works seamlessly in Internet Explorer:
<form id="myform">
<input type="file">
</form>
$('#myform input).change(function() { alert("Someone picked a file") });
In Firefox, this code continues to work like it did prior to 1.4, namely, as soon as the user picks a file, the change event fires. But in IE 7 (the only IE I've tested it in) the change event no longer fires, unless/until I click inside the browser window after choosing my file. I'm guessing it has something to do with the event not firing until something (not sure what... maybe the page itself?) gets focus.
Is this known/expected behavior with 1.4? If so, does anyone know how I can work around it to make 1.4 behave like 1.2.x did, where IE's change event will fire immediately after the file is picked without an extra click in the window?
