Question

I’m trying to update my inline code to be external for the new Chrome extension manifest.

My old code is:

<input id="importbutton" type="file" onchange="dataImport(this.files);">

My new code is, except it isn’t working – maybe someone can help me debug this?

$('#importbutton').bind('onchange', function() {
    var myimport = $('#importbutton').val();
    dataImport(myimport.files);
});

You could try using the change method (can’t test right now, so apologies if it crashes and burns 🙂 ):

$('#importbutton').change(function(e) {
    var myimport = $(this).val();
    dataImport(myimport.files);
});
