I used Blueimp jQuery File Upload in my Rails application. When user select files, I want to show thumbnail of the image and the name of the image before uploading files to server.
I have been referring the demo to customize this plugin. I am able to print name of the file on the screen but not able to show thumbnail.
Here is the generated html
<!DOCTYPE html>

I compare the html generated after selecting files. The only difference is demo application has <canvas height="72" width="80"></canvas> element within <td class="preview"><span class="fade"></span></td> which is missing in my application.
It looks like some configuration problem. Would anyone please help me to configure it properly to show thumbnail as soon as user selects images from the disk?
Those previews are not part of the basic version. They are part of the “additional plugin providing a complete user interface (jquery.fileupload-ui.js).“
So you have to include those js files, and you probably need some HTML wrappers.
Check out the source HTML of the demo, because it is included in that demo.
