Valums file-uploader (now called Fine Uploader) doesn't work under Internet Explorer 9 but wors fine under Chrome.
So under IE it shows the name of the file and button CANCEL and no % of uploading.
Any clue?
UPDATES:
Solution is here as well MVC Valums Ajax Uploader - IE doesn't send the stream in request.InputStream
I know this question was filed under asp.net specifically, but it came up when I searched for "valums ajax upload IE9", so I'll post my fix here in case it helps anyone like myself regardless of language:
I was returning a JSON response from the AJAX upload request with a "application/json" content header. IE9 does not know what to do with "application/json" content (but Chrome/FF/etc do).
I fixed this by making sure to return a "text/html" MIME type http header on my json response from the server.
Now IE is no longer trying to download the response! Cheers
I am unable to reproduce the issue. Here's a full working example.
Controller:
public class HomeController : Controller
{
public ActionResult Index()
{
return View();
}
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Upload(HttpPostedFileBase qqfile)
{
var uploadPath = Server.MapPath("~/app_data");
if (qqfile != null)
{
var filename = Path.Combine(uploadPath, Path.GetFileName(qqfile.FileName));
qqfile.SaveAs(filename);
return Json(new { success = true }, "text/html");
}
else
{
var filename = Request["qqfile"];
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(filename))
{
filename = Path.Combine(uploadPath, Path.GetFileName(filename));
using (var output = System.IO.File.Create(filename))
{
Request.InputStream.CopyTo(output);
}
return Json(new { success = true });
}
}
return Json(new { success = false });
}
}
Index.cshtml
view:
<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/valums/fileuploader.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
<div id="file-uploader">
<noscript>
<p>Please enable JavaScript to use file uploader.</p>
</noscript>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var uploader = new qq.FileUploader({
element: document.getElementById('file-uploader'),
action: '@Url.Action("upload")'
});
</script>
You could also include the CSS in your Layout:
<link href="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/valums/fileuploader.css")" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
It seems that is IE cache issue, if you are using Ajax & GET, add timestamp value in the get parameters for the Ajax parameters, that will do the trick like this :
$.ajax({
url : "http:'//myexampleurl.php' + '?ts=' + new Date().getTime(),
dataType: "json",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
.
.
//more stuff
If you are using java spring
@RequestMapping(value = "/upload", method = RequestMethod.POST, produces = "application/json")
public @ResponseBody YourObject excelUplaod(@RequestHeader("X-File-Name") String filename, InputStream is) {
// chrome or firefox
}
@RequestMapping(value = "/upload", method = RequestMethod.POST,headers="content-type=multipart/*", produces = "text/html")
public @ResponseBody ResponseEntity<YourObject> uploadByMultipart(@RequestParam(value = "qqfile") MultipartFile file) {
// IE
try {
String fileName = file.getOriginalFilename();
InputStream is = file.getInputStream();
// more stuff
} catch (Exception e) {
logger.error("error reading excel file", e);
}
}
