Question

I am working on a web page which has a file uploader. After I click the button ‘Discard changes’, I want the contents of the file uploader to be purged. I was thinking to do this by refreshing the fileuploader using jQuery.

How can this be done in jQuery please? Thanks 🙂

Edit

The file uploader I am using makes use of a jQuery library so that it can upload several photos at once. As a result, changing its value to “” does not work in this case.

That’s why I’d like to reload it all together using jQuery.

This is the plugin I am using:

Answer 1

Give the File input an id or a class, let’s say this id is “img” and then use

$('input#img').val("");
