This question already has an answer here:
my javascript in .php (static website) file doesn't work. I use there 3 other scripts and they do work, but not this one.
The situation is simple
The javascript is...
var myFile = document.getElementById('myFile'); myFile.addEventListener('change', function() { alert(this.files[0].size); });
and the HTML code in the PHP file is (stripped)
<form onsubmit="return anotherfunction();" action="sendForm.php" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post"> <table> <tr> <td>Attach an image:</td> <td> <input type="file" name="priloha[]" accept="image/*" /></td> </tr> </table> </form>
And the javascript does nothing, it acts like it doesn't exist. I tried to use the JS in the header, below the header, in the body, in the TD of the input... I also tried using it in external .js file, nothing, doesn't work at all. I tried changing "change" to "click", didn't work neither. I tried to do this all day and I can't figure out what's wrong.
So I tried to do much simpler code to check what's wrong and it seems like "change" or "onchange" - the second line of the JS doesn't work.
I also tried to specify HTML5 doctype, doesn't do a thing.
My extra .html file to try even simpler code looks like this and of course doesn't work...
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> </head> <body> <table> <tr> <td>Input field for click popup:</td> <td> <script type="text/javascript"> var input = document.getElementById('input'); input.addEventListener('click', function() { alert("Hello"); }); </script> <input type="text" id="input" /> </td> </tr> <table> </body> </html>
Help me please, I don't really know what's this... I forgot to mention, I tried different browsers - Opera 12.15, latest FF and Chrome, didn't work in any case. But it works in fiddle... thanks for any help in advance
