I have a input, type of file, with display:none
and there is a button.
after clicking the button, the input's event should be fired. In IE, Chrome and Firefox it works but not in Safari!
var elem=$('<input id="ajxAttachFiles" name="fileUpload" type="file" style="display: none;"/>');
if($("#ajxAttachFiles").length==0){
elem.prependTo(".ChProgress");
}
$("#ajxAttachFiles").click();
there is no error in console. I tried this but nothing.
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#btn").on('click',function(){
$("#ajxAttachFiles")[0].click();
});
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<input id="ajxAttachFiles" type="file" style="display:none;">
<button id="btn" type="button">Click me!</button>
The issue is completely solved. the point is element of input[type=file]
must not be display:none
. look at sample below
function click(el) {
// Simulate click on the element.
var evt = document.createEvent('Event');
evt.initEvent('click', true, true);
el.dispatchEvent(evt);
}
document.querySelector('#selectFile').addEventListener('click', function(e) {
var fileInput = document.querySelector('#inputFile');
//click(fileInput); // Simulate the click with a custom event.
fileInput.click(); // Or, use the native click() of the file input.
}, false);
<input id="inputFile" type="file" name="file" style="visibilty:hidden;width:0;height:0">
<button id="selectFile">Select</button>
Trigger the click event on the DOM element rather than the jQuery object. That should work in all browsers.
$('#ajxAttachFiles')[0].click();
Or:
document.getElementById('ajxAttachFiles').dispatchEvent( new Event('click') );
//for IE < 9 use microsoft's document.createEventObject
var elem=$('<input id="ajxAttachFiles" name="fileUpload" type="file" style="display: none;"/>');
if($("#ajxAttachFiles").length==0){
elem.prependTo(".ChProgress");
}
$("#ajxAttachFiles").on('click',function() {
alert( 'click triggered' );
});
$("#ajxAttachFiles")[0].click();
//an alternative:
var event = new Event('click');
document.getElementById('ajxAttachFiles').dispatchEvent(event);
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="ChProgress">Will be added here</div>
