Answer 1

The only problem with the above answer is that your HTML will no longer display the file name after the upload. Instead, it will continue to say "No file chosen", which might be confusing for users.

To get around this, you can hide the input and replace it with a label that replicates the display of the input, like so:

HTML:

Choose fileNo file chosen

CSS:

#myFileInput {
    display: none;
}
#myFileLabel {
    border: 1px solid #ccc;
    border-radius: 4px;
    cursor: pointer;
    font-size: 12px;
    margin-top: 5px;        
    padding-left: 6px;
    padding-right: 6px;
}
#myFileName {
    margin-left: 5px;
}

JavaScript:

var file = null
file = e.target.files[0];

//variable to get the name of the uploaded file
var fileName = file.name;
//replace "No file chosen" with the new file name
$('#myFileName').html(fileName);
