Who wants a easy friday star ? 1

[simonchristieis]

Anyone know the events handled by a file upload input element ?

<input type="file">

I want to show a label when they have selected the file to upload, any wanna help - it's friday and a quick google didn't help.

Does it support onchange ?

what do you mean "show a label"? what will be in the label? you can't access the file field's contents - security restriction.

<more info>
but you can use the onchange event to do things unrelated to the input field's value...

sorry - played squash at lunch, now really tired.

I want sommat like:

<input type="file" onchange="show()"/>

<span id="label" style="visibility:hidden;">oi oi saveloy</span>

function show()
{
label.style.visibility = "visible";
}

but wanted to know what events I could use with the file upload, can't find them on google.

onchange is legit. standard events are accessible, it's only the value of the field that you can't f with.

Hi

Additionally try the standard compliant way :

function show()
{
  [red]document.getElementById('[/red]label[red]')[/red].style.visibility = "visible";
}
