Simulate a click on the Upload button using javascript

Reply Quote

Hello,

I'm trying to simulate a click on the Upload button using javascript. One version of the code I've tried is this one:

var btnUpload = document.getElementById('ajaxUploader__Insert');

btnUpload.click();

When I do this, I expect the "Choose file" dialog box to show up (same behaviour as when you click on this button with the mouse). Unfortunately it is not working. This generates a full postback, as if the button is not "bind" to the uploader.

Do you know if this is feasible?

Thanks in advance,

Dar

Dar,

You can try .onclick() insead of the .click():

var uploader=document.getElementById('<%=ajaxUploader.ClientID%>')

uploader.startbrowse()

for Flash10 , it would show a blocked warning panel.

Regards,
Terry

Hello,

Thanks for your answer.

FYI, neither the 'onclick' nor the 'startbrowse' worked for me (guess it has something to do with flash).

But it's ok because the requirement has changed.

Dar
