Question

I need your help. This works so far that I will get alerts when I add a filefield and add files to them. But when I want to change a previous field it will show the last ones value. I have tried using the different id:s but I’m stuck.

Also how to show the filename only in showSrc() here?

upload.html

<form id="uploadForm" action="{% url fileman.views.upload %}" method="post"  enctype="multipart/form-data">{% csrf_token %}
<p><input type="file" name="ufile1" id="myfile1" onChange="javascript:showSrc();" size="20"><a href="#" id="myframe1"></a></p>
<p id="addFileFild"><a href="#" id="myframe" onclick="return addFileFild();"><img src="{{ fileman_media_url }}/plus_icon.png"WIDTH=25 HEIGHT=25></a></p>

script.js

function addFileFild(){
  ufile = ufile+1;
  myfile = myfile+1;
  myframe = myframe+1;
  $("#addFileFild").before('<p><input type="file" name="ufile'+ufile+'" id="myfile' +myfile+'" onChange="javascript:showSrc();" size="20"><a href="#" id="myframe' +myframe+'"></a></p>');
return 0;
}


function showSrc() {
  document.getElementById("myframe"+myframe).href = document.getElementById("myfile" +myfile).value;
  var theexa=document.getElementById("myframe"+myframe).href.replace("file:///","");
  alert(document.getElementById("myframe"+myframe).href.replace("file:///",""));
  }

This is where I would have to get the correct field value each time:

document.getElementById("myfile" +myfile).value;

Here is the solution by Dr.Molle with added C:/fakepath removal for chrome and IE8+.

function showSrc(obj) {
  //obj.nextSibling.href = obj.value;
  // this is for Chrome and IE8+ excluding C:/fakepath/...
  var filename = obj.value.replace(/^.*\\/, '')
  //Write filename to page.
  obj.parentNode.replaceChild(document.createElement('span'),obj.parentNode.lastChild);
  obj.parentNode.lastChild.appendChild(document.createTextNode(filename));

}

Answer 1

Provide the input as argument to showSrc()

onChange="showSrc(this)"

Inside showSrc access this argument:

function showSrc(obj) {
  obj.nextSibling.href = obj.value;
  //output the src inside the link
  obj.nextSibling.innerHTML = '';
  obj.nextSibling.appendChild(document.createTextNode(obj.value));
  //......
  }

Edited function regarding to the comments:

function showSrc(obj) {
  obj.parentNode.replaceChild(document.createElement('span'),obj.parentNode.lastChild);
  obj.parentNode.lastChild.appendChild(document.createTextNode(obj.value));
}
