HTML File input JS events

Question

Are there any JavaScript events in type=file input? I.E. I would like to add an extra file input upon selecting file in one of allready created:

<

Answer 1

I think you mean type=file ?

The only meaningful way is use both onclick and onchanged and keep track of the contents to see if it is changed.

Answer 2

Here is the event logged by Firebug when selecting a file with Firebug:

• click clientX=885, clientY=207
• blur
• focus
• change
• DOMActivate
• DOMActivate
• mouseout clientX=162, clientY=27

I guess change, is the one you are looking for:

$ ('#your_form_id input[type=file]').live ('change', function () {
  $(this).parent ().append ($('<input type="file" />'));
})

you just have to adapt the selector and the previous code should work

Answer 3

I believe onchange should work.
