JavaScript/jQuery File Uploader - Async Upload

In this demo, the JavaScript FileUploader component is configured for asynchronous upload. Use the File types drop-down menu to select acceptable file types for the Open file dialog. The Upload mode drop-down menu allows you to specify whether the file is uploaded on a button click or instantly after the file has been selected. In addition, you can specify whether the JavaScript FileUploader allows multiple file selection.

.widget-container { margin-right: 320px; } .content h4 { margin-bottom: 10px; font-weight: 500; font-size: 18px; } .content { margin-top: 50px; margin-left: 10px; } .selected-item { margin-bottom: 20px; } #selected-files { display: none; } .options { padding: 20px; background-color: rgba(191, 191, 191, 0.15); position: absolute; right: 0; top: 0; bottom: 0; width: 260px; } .caption { font-size: 18px; font-weight: 500; } .option { margin-top: 10px; }

To select files, click the Select file button or drop the files directly on the component. If the upload mode is «useButtons», you must click the Upload button or a corresponding button for each file to initiate upload.

NOTE

This demo does not actually upload files. To upload files, assign the URL of a page providing server scenarios for saving uploaded files to the uploadUrl configuration property of the component.
