Question

I have a form which is loaded from ajax response that contains some textarea and a file upload option. My form looks like this..

<form name="myFm" id="myFm" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    <table>
            <tr>
                <td valign="top">
                    <label>My Label</label>
                </td>
                <td>
                    <textarea name="myText" id="myText"></textarea>
                </td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td>
                    <label>File Upload</label>
                </td>
                <td>
                    <input type="file" id="files" name="myFile" value="Upload" /> 
                </td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td>
                  <input type="button" name="fmSub" value="Submit" onclick="myAjaxFunction();" />
                </td>
            </tr>
    </table>
</form>

The form will be submitted with an ajax function to my PHP script. I tried to use the below jquery script to verify the upload file.

$(':file').change(function(){
    var file = this.files[0];
    name = file.name;
    size = file.size;
    type = file.type;
    if(name.length > 0)
    alert(name);
    //your validation
 });

This script is working for a normal html form, but not working for my ajax loaded form. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks..

Where do you set that handler, before the form is loaded? In that case try this

$(':file').live('change', function(){
    ...
}
