igFileUpload Open file selection dialog through a javascript/jquery call
posted

Hi All,

We are creating an interface in our web app to mimic Outlook to store all correspondence between clients and users. The requirement is for our interface we are creating to send emails must match Outlook closely. We are using the igFileUpload to allow for adding of attachments. 

Is there any way I can open the file selection dialog using javascript or jquery using my own button, instead of the button on the igFileUpload control?

Thanks!!!!!

    Hi Eduard,

    Opening file open dialog by emulating mouse click is not working consistently between the browsers.

    Here are my observations:

    • Firefox 17 - working
    • Opera - 12.12 - not working
    • Chrome - 23 - not working
    • Internet Explorer 9 - opens file dialog, but doesn't upload the file.

     

    So the answer to your question is that this currently cannot be achieved in consistent matter.

     

    Hope this helps,
