JQuery :: Change Event Placed On File Input Inconsistent Between Firefox & IE?
Jan 25, 2010
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:
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?
I have been spending my whole life on converting a flash version of a header/menu system to jQuery HTML. It is very nearly done in that it works nearly 100% perfectly in Firefox and IE8. [URL]. Unfortunately, in Chrome and Safari, my menu events of the top menu seem to fire inconsistently, and in the wrong order. It is easy to trigger a problem by simply circling your mouse over the top links. One of the menus will retract when it's already retracted, or the mouseover event for one or more of the links will seemingly detach, making the menu unusable.
The way it is supposed to work is as follows: Person hovers over link, causing menu to slide out and the mouseover event to be detached. This also triggers a 1 second timer that retracts the menuHovering over menu cancels 1 second timer.When the mouse leaves the menu, the menu is retracted and the original mouseover event is attached to the link. It's a bit hackish but it works and I've spent way too much time on this project as is. I have a lot of iphone detection checking to disable/enable some portions of the code if the browser is mobile safari. The site works fine in mobile safari as is.
I've noticed that the change event isn't fired on a text input when it's value is changed by JavaScript. It fires just fine when I type in the input and then lose focus. Example:
Does anyone know if i can write a generic javascript function that check the file extension of the uploaded files and if the extension is incorrect erases the value because the user upload's more then one file i want to get the ID from the form something like:
fileselectedchange(obj) { var fileEXT = obj.substring(obj.indexOf('.')+1, obj.length); if (fileEXT.toUpperCase() != 'XLS'){
I have a <select> object that i've set up an onchange event that fires in IE fine when I use the cursor up and down in the list, but If I use the cursor up and down in Firefox the event doesn't seem to fire until I've left the field....If i use the mouse all is fine, only when using the cursor keys does it not fire the onchange event in FF.
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.
What I'm doing is creating a div element dynamically when the user clicks on a point in the page. Once created I create a record in my database table the corresponds to this div element and save information such as the width,height, x coordinate, and y coordinate of the element. This is done via AJAX accessing my web service. The weird thing is, I get really fast responses 80% of the time but 20% of the time, its taking a lot longer. For example, I would get a response after 50-100ms and at times I would get it in 2 seconds What do you think is the source of this problem?
I am working on bringing my existing website to the iphone/ipod using jqtouch and jquery.
I am stuck using the following code to change the value of a form's hidden field with the value of a clicked link. It works for the first two clicks then no matter what other link is clicked the form's hidden field value is changed to the value of the first or second clicked link?
Is there a more robust, reliable way of achieving my aim?
...$(document).ready(function(){ $('a[name]').click(function() { var str_id = $(this).attr("value"); $("#bookingperiod").val(str_id); }); });...<div class="info">Thu Jun 3rd 2010</div>
If I switch the w3schools' file with the same local file, it will not work with firefox.Does anybody know why the local file is not displayed correctly?
I have to implement Tablesorter Pager plugin on Dynamic Table which will be cleared(emptied) out everytime. I triedby adding pager to [URL].. The sorting is working fine for first time but when i click on append url, the sorting is not working and the pager is skipping pages for large dataon subsequent clicks. I tried all the solutions ( appendCache, update,bind) but nothing seems to be solving the problem.
is there a way to assign an event to a file input so that when a user selects a file to upload the event is triggered and i can check out the file extension? The reason why is simple, i want to perform different actions depending on the type of the file.
I wanna send a file thru the JQuery.load, I want it to work exactly like the regular post without the JQuery. So I can check the $_FILES['file']['error'] in PHP and all its features like I do without using JQuery.
$("#load").load('gerenciar_itens.php',{/* This is where I wanna pass the file. */}, function(data){ alert(data); });
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.
I have a form with 3 text inputs; onclick I pass their values to another php file to process everything in that file without a refresh, it works fine, but in the same form I also have a input and I need to pass its value to that other file as well, does anybody know how to do it? This is what I have:
function processform(){ $.post('processnewpostForm.php', {title: newpostform.titleInput.value,
$(function(){ $('input').bind('keypress',null,b).bind('change',null,a); }); function a(){
[Code].....
this script bind both keypress and change of the text box to functions b and a. at keypress event handler if user type a char on input box the value of input box change to x and the user char discarded. In this case we expected to run the onchange (change) event because the textbox value is changed BUT this doesn't happen.
I have a JSP page on which when print is pressed - Records are fetched on a redirected page and those are to be printed.
I use the lines - <script language="javascript"> window.print(); history.back(); </script> to do the same.
When browsed from Netscape 4.7, the Resultset page is printed perfectly whereas in IE6, the resultset page is generated and the source page is printed i.e. the one where Print command was given
Is there a workaround for IE6 for the same which will let me print the Result page silently without changing the sequence of operations for the user?
I have to change text input type to password input type and i am using jquery script. This script work for FF, Chrome and Safari browser but not worked on ie7, ie8.
Script is as:-
How can i update my script, so that it works cross the browser.
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:
If a form as an input='file' element, and someone clicks on BROWSE and then changes their mind and clicks CANCEL, if JavaScript can detect that cancel?
I can't fire my function with onclick event in Firefox.My little piece of code works perfect inIE. but in firefox it just doesn't work and no error in firebug by theway.I'm using Firefox 3.0.9This is the code:

I am currently working on an announcements portlet for a dashboard that my team is creating. What is desired is to be able to have this portlet access a stored text file (file can be edited so content is subject to change) that will have all the information needed for these announcements. The JavaScript will then write it into a html file. I am a novice at html, and javascript;
