jQuery change method on input type=“file”

Question

I\'m trying to embrace jQuery 100% with it\'s simple and elegant API but I\'ve run into an inconsistency between the API and straight-up HTML that I can\'t quite figure out.

Answer 1

is the ajax uploader refreshing your input element? if so you should consider using .live() method.

 $('#imageFile').live('change', function(){ uploadFile(); });

update:

from jQuery 1.7+ you should use now .on()

 $(parent_element_selector_here or document ).on('change','#imageFile' , function(){ uploadFile(); });
