Testing if an upload field will accept "click"
So, I would like to be able to have people click on a link, and the an input field with a file will open. But I only want this to happen if the browser has support for it. As pointed out in this answer, chrome supports this. Firefox 3.6 does not, but Firefox 4 should.
I know you can frequently test for support of features in javascript, but I'm unsure how to test for this feature.
If you'd like to see what I mean, the below code shows the feature when clicking on the link. You can also play with this on my page.
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Upload Field Click Test</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
var clicker = document.getElementById('clicker');
var uploader = document.getElementById('uploader');
clicker.addEventListener("click", function(开发者_开发问答e) {
uploader.click();
e.preventDefault();
}, false);
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<input type="file" id="uploader">
</form>
<a href="#" id="clicker">Should click the uploader</a>
</body>
</html>
Things that do not work:
- testing !uploader.click
- seeing if uploader.click() throws an exception
You could use JQuery to dynamically write the HTML into the document at the appropriate place
$("#mylinkID").after('<a href=" ">Whatever</a>');`
and the link would be added after the element that contained the ID "mylinkID". If no support for JS, the link doesn't get displayed.
