Show File Content When File Is Selected Using Input Type File
Sep 21, 2007
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 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]
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...
how to put the jquery once file is selected, and not Cancel is selected.
Let's assume we have
<input name="title" type="text" value="- none -" size="33" maxlength="50"> <input name="filepath" type="file" size="33"> and at another portion of that page also have a similar repeated code as above.
I want to put some changes once the File is selected not when the button Browse is Pressed. Is there any work around?
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'm writing a script and I've encountered a problem.. I have a txt file with many words, each word in a different line. For example: the file words.txt contains:
word1 word2 word3 word4 word5
I need to load the content of the file into a variable in my script. I prefer that all the words will be in the same variable with line breaks, but if you'll figure out a way to put it in an array, it's ok too. I really don't know how to do it, and I tried to google but didn't understand.. By the way, I don't want to change the txt file to js file, I need it to remain txt..
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 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;

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 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 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,
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?
Basically I have a script setup that displays portfolio pieces from a xml file. Currently they are just displaying the most recent. Is there a way of randomising them?
