input-type-file

I'm trying to use only a button as input file, it works fine in Firefox, Chrome, Safari but not in IE... I always get 'access denied' when submitting the form. The code: $('#input_file').click(); Is there a real fix for it? I wasted about 2 hours on google but I can't find it. I found a way around it. Wrap the button in label tags like this: <label for="fileinput"><div class="button">Upload file</div></label> <form> <input id="fileinput" name="file" type="file"> </form> Clicking the label will trigger the file input without invalidating the form in internet explorer (tested in IE9 & IE10) EDIT

here i am trying to upload html/htm files on the click of a button. For that i am using 'input type=file' I have set the 'accept' attribute of it to accept only html/htm extensions like this: <input type="file" name="htmla" id="htmla" accept="text/html" /> But it is showing different behaviour in different browsers In firefox, it is accepting all files In chrome, it is accepting html as well as images In IE, the same as firefox Is there a way to make it accept only html/htm files by any method like javascript or jquery? Note: I am using this control in MVC 4 There is nothing in standard input

I have a file upload control <input id="File1" type="file" /> in my page... How to check an input type="file" has a file or not using jquery on click of a button upload ? Quentin if (jQuery('#File1').val()) { /* There are files */ } Hardik Sondagar You should use "required" instead of JQuery. By just one attribute it'll check input=file has file or not. Example: <input type="file" required/> jAndy $('#upload').bind('click', function(e){ if( $('#File1').val() != ""){ // file selected } else{ // no file selected } }); 来源： https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2642970/how-to-check-an-input-type
