Checking If File Was Selected

Yii 1.1 General Discussion

How/where could I add some javascript code, to check if file was selected in standard file selection dialog? I would like to put some alert then.

I need this validation on update action.

The "_form.php" from "candidate" view has the file input field:




	<div class="row">

		<?php echo $form->labelEx($model,'cv'); ?>

		<?php echo $form->fileField($model,'cv'); ?>

		<?php echo $form->error($model,'cv'); ?>

	</div>

How to check with javascript if file was selected on above field?

Thanks

you can check field value on ‘change’ event:


$('#your-file-field-id').on('change', function() {console.log(this.value);});

 <div class="row">

                <?php echo $form->labelEx($model,'cv'); ?>

                <?php echo $form->fileField($model,'cv'); ?>

                <?php echo $form->error($model,'cv'); ?>

</div>

You can put it in document.ready() section. Use registerJs for this.

Wow, people are getting helpless.

  • You can view the source of the page (i mean, HTML source)

  • You can use ‘inspect element’ of firebug or chrome dev console

  • You can see how activeForm’s fields are rendered

I believe it would be something like ‘YourModelName_cv’.
