Custom File Upload - Input "file" Type Can't Be Customized Very Well Using Css?
Aug 31, 2009
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]
I have a <input type = file> button for uploading a file in my php page. As soon as i select a file from the button, i need the file data to be displayed so that i check whether the file selected has the correct data. How can i do this.
Am developing a form in which user image should be viewed and stored in web database. I am using html5 and javascript. While using input type= "file" to browse the image, chrome shows the file path as c:/fakepath/*.jpg.
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 would like to use input type file, but i would like to put any file in it when i go on the page for example when user go back after try to submit
imagine any form to fill for send information...but after the user validate....one on the fields is bad...then the user must be correct this field.....But i don't want another fields are empty. The user must just correct one fields and keep another fields
this is a code I recently found that enables dynamic creation of a file upload field within a form using javascript. I am new to all of this and have some previous actionscript 3.0 experience. Is there an IF statement that I can place inside the 'addLoadEvent' function that can limit the amount of fields created?
Code: function fileFields() { var x = document.getElementById('imageUpload');
can anyone tell me how do i disable the file type dialog box .
I want the user select the file through browse buttton,but i do not want him to edit the file name he has select in the text box where it gets dispalyed.
I was wondering if anyone knows a way to get the file name(the one theuser has just browsed and is about to upload using the form) from aform input.I tried $("#fileInput").val() but it does not work.
my input file <input type="file" name="file" /> and javascript <script type="text/javascript">
[Code]....
now the problem is if I add id="test1" in the input file the javascript stuff works but then actual thing that input file suppose to pass (File upload info) goes missing.
so I was wondering is there any way I could by pass adding the id part in the input and still call it?
I was thinking some thing like
$(document.forms[0].elements["file"]).fileinput(); but that's not working...
i am using <input type = "file" id = "upload"> in my html page. i want to disable the textbox of this control so that user cannot type any file location here. user can upload file only through browse button.
is there a way to disable this textbox thru javascript?

I want to serialize file name of the file being uploaded in the input type file <input type="file">, but when I serialized the form in jquery I just got the input type text and others not the file - how do I do it? is it something jquery fails to achieve?this is the html,
I am trying to create an input element of type file using the javascript. I am able to create it but the problem i am facing is, i need to apply a CSS class to the control. Can some one let me know how to do the same.
I am pasting the code that i am using to create a control.
function AddUploadFile() { var newrow = document.getElementById("files_tbl").insertRow(document.getElementById("files_tbl").rows.length);
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 a problem with the latest version of the jQuery Form Plugin (2.80). To be more precise, I guess I am doing something wrong, and with an older version (2.67) somehow it didn't matter.With the old version, the file was uploaded without problems. Now Firefox opens a new Tab on clicking the submit button and nothing is done. Chrome doesn't open a new tab, but also nothing happens. In Wireshark I can see that there is no file attached in the POST message with the older version, the file was sent.My first guess was that my file handling on the server side is erroneous - but on the other hand, when there is no file attached, what should I handle there?
I'm using a nice little script which replaces the usual file upload input with whatever image you want and then with JS makes sure that an invisible 'browse' button is underneath the mouse pointer whenever the mouse is moved over the image you want to use.
It works on every browser ie7 ie8 ie9 FF safari chrome but not on opera. On Opera the regular file input appears.
I've had a good hoke round the 'net and I know there's loads of scripts which do similar things. But either they are too complicated for me to figure out how to use them eg uploadify (bit of a newbie) or they do similar things but just not as well - like making the custom image the same size as the file input would be (there's issues with that too).
Here's the script I'm using - there's not much to it
How come it doesn't work in Opera grrrr... Is there anyway to fix it? This is perfect for what I want apart from not working in Opera.
I want to restrict the user from being entering the value in <input type="file">. It works fine in IE but not in Mozilla. I am sending my code also which works in IE and not in Mozilla...
I implemented Malsups jquery form and use it for ajax file uploads. Works fine in FF, but in IE as soon as the ajax has completed the upload IE gives me a File Download box - Security warning. If I click on save it save thereturnedJson object (I do JS call onsuccessto get a file list and display it). If I click cancel or save on the popup has same effect the file still gets uploaded but just looks ugly.
How can I get rid of this? All coming form the same domain, calling from the same domain. This is on a python django project and I am testing it on the dev server.
Its pretty basic jquery nothing to exciting, don't get why IE would cause.
I have a page with a customizable background. The user can choose a picture to set as the background by finding the picture file they want after clicking the upload input. The path of the file they select is saved into a cookie, and the page then switches backgrounds.
This all works perfectly, but the value that the upload input returns is only the file name, not the full path. For example, let's say I wanted to choose a picture named "bg.jpg" in the "Windows" folder of the C drive. The full path would be "C:/Windows/bg.jpg". However, the value that the input returns is just "bg.jpg".
How would I have the input return the entire path of the file using JavaScript?
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.
