jQuery: get the file name selected from <input type="file" />
- by ConNen
This code should work in IE (don't even test it in Firefox), but it doesn't.
What I want is to display the name of the attached file. Any help?
<html>
<head>
<title>example</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="../js/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready( function(){
$("#attach").after("<input id='fakeAttach' type='button' value='attach a file' />");
$("#fakeAttach").click(function() {
$("#attach").click();
$("#maxSize").after("<div id='temporary'><span id='attachedFile'></span><input id='remove' type='button' value='remove' /></div>");
$('#attach').change(function(){
$("#fakeAttach").attr("disabled","disabled");
$("#attachedFile").html($(this).val());
});
$("#remove").click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
$("#attach").replaceWith($("#attach").clone());
$("#fakeAttach").attr("disabled","");
$("#temporary").remove();
});
})
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input id="attach" type="file" /><span id="maxSize">(less than 1MB)</span>
</body>
</html>
