I have been working on this for quite a few works now. I have a dynamic table to which I add more columns using a button. In one of these column's I wish to create a image upload button.
I add columns to my table using javascript and to one of those columns I add the following form
tblBody.rows[row].cells[6].innerHTML = ' <form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post">
<input type="file" name="file_upload" id="file_upload">
<input class="button green" type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit Content">
</form>';
For uploading the image using AJAX and jQuery I used the following code on github
So I include the following javascript to my code
$(function()
{
// Variable to store your files
var files;
// Add events
$('input[type=file]').on('change', prepareUpload);
$('form').on('submit', uploadFiles);
// Grab the files and set them to our variable
function prepareUpload(event)
{
files = event.target.files;
}
// Catch the form submit and upload the files
function uploadFiles(event)
{
event.stopPropagation();
event.preventDefault();
var data = new FormData();
$.each(files, function(key, value)
{
data.append(key, value);
});
$.ajax({
url: 'submit.php?files',
type: 'POST',
data: data,
cache: false,
dataType: 'json',
processData: false, // Don't process the files
contentType: false, // Set content type to false as jQuery will tell the server its a query string request
success: function(data, textStatus, jqXHR)
{
if(typeof data.error === 'undefined')
{
// Success so call function to process the form
submitForm(event, data);
}
else
{
// Handle errors here
console.log('ERRORS: ' + data.error);
}
},
error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown)
{
// Handle errors here
console.log('ERRORS: ' + textStatus);
// STOP LOADING SPINNER
}
});
}
function submitForm(event, data)
{
// Create a jQuery object from the form
$form = $(event.target);
// Serialize the form data
var formData = $form.serialize();
// You should sterilise the file names
$.each(data.files, function(key, value)
{
formData = formData + '&filenames[]=' + value;
});
$.ajax({
url: 'submit.php',
type: 'POST',
data: formData,
cache: false,
dataType: 'json',
success: function(data, textStatus, jqXHR)
{
if(typeof data.error === 'undefined')
{
// Success so call function to process the form
console.log('SUCCESS: ' + data.success);
}
else
{
// Handle errors here
console.log('ERRORS: ' + data.error);
}
},
error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown)
{
// Handle errors here
console.log('ERRORS: ' + textStatus);
},
complete: function()
{
// STOP LOADING SPINNER
}
});
}
});
But for some reason this does not work when I include the form with javascript. It works fine when the form is in normal html file.
Does anybody have a idea why it's not working?
