Finding Upload File Size - Javascript
Sep 8, 2006
I have used ASP.net 1.1. In that application user can upload the file(any printable document like doc/xls/ppt/pps/jpg/gif etc.,). The user allows to upload a max of 4MB.
But if the user uploads more than 4MB I'll issue a msg. But in slow network, the user needs to wait for much time to upload and even get error msg.
I want to stop from client side itself. Once the user selects the file to upload it shud b checked frm Javascript.
* Is there any way to do achieve this?
* The user should not change security settings in browser, if u suggests some method.
* If it is not possible/meaningful then please tell me the reasons very clearly. So I can stop searching.
* Please note any printable document can be uploaded.

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.
support.php
...
<!-- file -->
<div class="fileUploadEntry">

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.

In JSP / HTML, I want to restrict the size of file being uploaded.
<input type="file" name="myfile"/>
If the user trying to upload a file size bigger than some value say 5MB, i want to give mesage to the user. I don't want to wait till the file gets uploaded to server and then validate the file size. I am looking for client side validation. Can it be done using scripting language or any other way?
Need a solution for this in Internet Explorer. I got a solution using ActiveX control:
var myFSO = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
var filepath = document.getElementById('myfile').value;
var thefile = myFSO.getFile(filepath);
var sizeInBytes = thefile.size;
But ActiveX controls are not allowed in our application. Is there any alternative way for this?

I have an upload file operation in the web application. UploadForm.jsp
is the form, and UploadAction.jsp is the form processing. The web server is
Websphere.
//UploadForm.jsp
<FORM NAME="InputForm" ACTION="UploadAction.jsp" METHOD="POST"
enctype=multipart/form-data>
<input type="file" name="fileName">
//etc ...
</FORM>
After I deploy the application to the web server, if I upload a small
file size, it is fine.
But if I upload a huge file size more than 10MB, then it cannot even go
to UploadAction.jsp.
After 30 seconds, it has error "The page cannot be displayed" shown on
the web browser.
It cannot even go to UploadAction.jsp. But both UploadForm.jsp and
UnploadAction.jsp are in the same machine.
Interestingly, if I test in local machine, I can upload any file size
without problem. I don't have any hints now. any ideas?

i want to do (multiple) file upload(s) and display a progress bar.
with firefox and safari it is no problem at all. only IE makes some
problems.
my script is based on ajax-uploader, which can be found at
www.srmiles.com/freestuff/ajax_file_uploader/ . you can do multiple
file uploads. each upload will have it's own "form"-tag, so that each
file is uploaded for its own. could be a good solution if there are
"big" uploads.
so here is what i do:
i have a html-page in which several forms with file-input fields are
generated. when i now hit the "one" submit button at the bottom of the
page a javascript function upload() starts it will iterate through all
forms (id='frmUpload_xx'), will get the filename, start a ajax request
for the progress-bar function and do a form.submit().
if the first form/file is uploaded, a settimeout('upload()', 1000); is
called and the next form will be processed. all form's have an
target="uploaddiv", where uploaddiv is a invisible iframe. so the
output of the upload script is put in this div. output should only be
a "OK" at the end. no usefull output no info no nothing.
firefox and safari are working as expected, only IE stops after the
first file is uploaded. i get an javascript error saying "zugriff
verweigert/access denied" on object line x... this is the place where
i call "form.submit()".
this is the upload-function:
function upload() {
if (uploads.length>0) {
form = document.getElementById('frmUpload_'+uploads[0]);
if (form["filename"].value == ""){
alert("Please Choose a file to upload.");
} else {
filename = form["filename"].value;
if (filename.lastIndexOf("")>0) {
filename = filename.substring(filename.lastIndexOf("")
+1,filename.length);
} else if (filename.lastIndexOf("/")>0) {
filename = filename.substring(filename.lastIndexOf("/")
+1,filename.length);
}
makeRequest("upload_progress.php?sid="+sid
+"&filename="+filename,progress);
form.submit();
}
}
}
the strange thing is, that filename is filled correct, that means the
object "form" is found and exisits. the first iteration is working,
only the second ends with an error.
think it have something to do with redirecting the output of the
upload-script in an iframe. after that IE can't access form - at least
IE is not allowed to submit the form as i can access a form field
(filename).
i worked on that the last two days and haven't found a solution...

If I have an image upload box on my page and I wanted to check the image either after selected or before the form is submitted to import it, is there a line or command I can use to return the size in pixels(width*height)...
I've seen it done and I'm assuming jscript has something to offer here but my googling has come up a bit short so I'm not too sure where to begin..

How to limit file size before uploading it? This script works fine, but you have to configure first your browser to make the alert window appear. Which is not good at all This script only runs in IE6/7/8.
function IELimmit(calculate)
How to make the alert window appear without any browser configurations?

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 developed a web application and it is working fine, except for one issue. The application includes uploading files from a JSP to my servlet, and the issue is that i would like to have a limit for the uploaded files on the client side (before actually uploading it).
I investigated alot and found some ways like changing my JSPs to PHPs, which is not feasable for my application. I would also like to add that using the Flash component ("<object>") for uploading is not feasable also at this time. Using ActiveX does not work also (for some security issues in javascript, it can not access the system information, also ActiveX works only on IE).
I would like to add that I have my application running on Oracle application Server, JSPs for displaying the forms, MultiPart Java API for getting the form input values and files to my servlet and everything is developed in JAVA.
Either by limiting the file size or the limiting the whole request size sent to the servlet.

I have a form with three Input File form objects in which the user can add image files. But I am worried about the problems these controls can lead, because to check the file size the server needs to receive the entire file, so serious problems may happen, for example:
1. Malicious user trying to collapse the website sending big files.
2. Users that have not seen the warning “Maximum size: 100 KB� for each image, and try to send three image files consisting in 1,5 MB each one. These users will have a bad experience waiting one hour or more to upload the images, and after that receive an alert saying “Oooops! Your image files are too big.� And also, web server will waste an important amount of resources. The same case with 100 users at the same time can be a nightmare!
I have been searching a way to check the file size on client side without having to force user to install anything, but I think that there isn’ t nothing to do with javascript. But I found an interesting PHP article that explains a way to do it with this server side language. The technique consists in:
“A hidden field (measured in bytes) that precede the file input field, and its value is the maximum filesize accepted. This is an advisory to the browser, PHP also checks it. This form element should always be used as it saves users the trouble of waiting for a big file being transferred only to find that it was too big and the transfer failed. Code:

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 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]

This Scripts allows you to upload files using AJAX (I'm not an
expert). The site claims it's the best way to upload files out there,
and the file size is only 1 kb.
I couldn't get it to work for me. I downloaded the files to my
computer, and opened the index file with my browser. It doesn't work
(the demo on their site does); IE doesn't show any error messages or
anything, and FF shows a single word that might be treated as an error
notifier: 'undefined'. Does this thing even work? If it does, could
anyone please give me detailed steps on how to using it on my site?

I've created a PhP page(Main) which will list records and a link to change their "thumbnail". Clicking on it will open a "pop-up" which will present a "File input" box and when user select a file to upload, this popup-page will send the form fields to a "process page" using AJAX. This Process page will upload the file and on success returns nothing else the error to the Ajax object in Popup. On return, the popup page will just reload the thumbnail on main page if success and closes itself.
I'm sure I've described what I wanted to do. Again, in brief: Main->(Opens Popup)->Popup->(Send file using AJAX)->Process Process->(Upload File & return result to)->Popup->(Reload img on Main and closes itself)->Main
Below are my codes:

Websites like gmail.com use a file attachment system where the sender selects the file from his/her computer to be included within the message. The thing about this is that when the file is browsed upon there is NO browse input element to be shown.
I believe this somewhat prevents the user from messing around with the embedded filepath within the browse box (if they can mess it up). It also doesn't display such an ugly looking browsing box and it's file path.

I've looked through Google for a related issue but found nothing specificThe script runs through a external .js file calling a list of music albums, then listing the song of the album chosen via ajax. The user can then edit of delete the songs. Everything works fine until I submit the edited information through a form. When I click the submit button I get a web developer error "updateSong is not a function"Here's the form which is loaded into the already existing page via ajax:
<?php
