Thanks to some help on here I have a way of previewing images selected for and upload using:
<input type='file' name="files[]" onchange="readURL(this);" multiple />
<div id="previews"></div>
<script>
function readURL(input) {
if (input.files && input.files[0]) {
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.onload = function (e) {
var container = $('#previews');
var image = $('<img>').attr('src', e.target.result).width(150);
image.appendTo(container);
};
reader.readAsDataURL(input.files[0]);
}
}
</script>
I was wondering how to loop this function for each file selected on the input? I just don't see where to use something like .each()
edit:
am trying this.. but its wrong somewhere, as it displays 2 previews but both of the same image?
function readURL(input) {
$.each(input.files,function(i) {
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.onload = function (e) {
var container = $('#previews');
var image = $('<img>').attr('src', e.target.result).width(150);
image.appendTo(container);
};
reader.readAsDataURL(input.files[0]);
});
}
You just need to loop over the last line, where the file is selected.
input.files
is aFileList
, which acts like an array.You can use
jQuery.each
on it like any other array.
