Calling a input type file

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Apr 11.2011

hi

I am trying to call a input from a javascript.
my input file
<input type=”file” name=”file” />

and javascript
<script type=”text/javascript”>
$(document).ready(function(){
// Used for UI widgets and styling samples
$(“#test1”).fileinput();

});
</script>

now the problem is if I add id=”test1″ in the input file the javascript stuff works but then actual thing that input file suppose to pass (File upload info) goes missing.

so I was wondering is there any way I could by pass adding the id part in the input and still call it?

I was thinking some thing like

$(document.forms[0].elements[“file”]).fileinput(); but that’s not working…

I mean I am using spring frame work to get the info out of FILE input tupe using this in my controler


@RequestParam("file") MultipartFile file

looks like when I submit the form this information doesn't get passed.

@akabir77authorApr 12.2011 — yes.

basically if I remove the id from the input it works so if I do this

<input type="file" name="file" id="test"/>

<script type="text/javascript">

$(function(){

// Used for UI widgets and styling samples

$("#test").fileinput();

});

</script>

I get the jQuery stuff working but don't get any data.

is there anyway I could call the input by its name in the javaScript?

I tried using div but get the same result css works but data doesn't get passed.

@akabir77authorApr 12.2011 — this is the error message i am getting

Required MultipartFile parameter 'file' is not present

I tried calling it by name but same result. looks like the jQuery is doing something here

$(document.getElementsByName("file")).fileinput();

@FangApr 12.2011 — [I]getElementsByName[/I] is an array
[CODE]$(document.getElementsByName("file")[COLOR="Blue"][0][/COLOR]).fileinput();[/CODE]

@akabir77authorApr 12.2011 — [I]getElementsByName[/I] is an array

same result.

@FangApr 12.2011 — Have you tried the example from the plugin?
Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
@akabir77authorApr 12.2011 — yes. and like i said if the css part works then I don't get the MultipartFile value.

Thanks
