Hi,

I'm trying to validate the ajax uploader control before i post my form, to check if any files have been uploaded.

Is it possible to access the postedfiles count on the client side? I want to check that the user has uploaded a file before they submit the form.

I want to try something like this:

Code: JavaScript
var oUploader = eo_GetObject("AJAXUploader1");

if (oUploader.files.count == 0)
{
    alert('fail');
}


Thanks,
Dave

Hi,

I tried:

Code: JavaScript
var i = oUploader.getTotalFileCount(); 
            alert(i);


but this just returns null.

Am I using it correctly?

Regards,
Dave

Hi Dave,

The function only returns value during an upload session ---- meaning an upload is actively in progress. Once the upload is done, it returns null. The primary purpose of this function is to support {total_file_count} variable in progress text. As such it appears that the function won't give you what you need. We will see if we can add that functionality.

Thanks

Thanks,

Ah i see what you mean. My goal here was really to avoid a roundtrip to the server to check if a file had been uploaded by the user.

Please let me know if you make this addition, as it will make my app more efficient :)

Cheers,
Dave
