Clearing <input type='file' /> using jQuery

This is my code:

 <input ID="fileUpload1" runat="server" type="file" style="width:275px; position:absolute; left:1px"/>

I’ve try some solutions:

$("input[type='file']").val('');
$('#DivfileUpload').replaceWith("<input class=VWButton ID=fileUpload1 runat=server type=file style=width:275px; position:absolute; left:1px/>");

and many others from the web but no succeed.

Answer 1

You cannot set the value of a file input for (obvious) security reasons.

If you want to clear it, you need to reset the form it is in.

Replacing it with a new one should also work, but do it with valid code. (which means don’t try to include server side code such the ASP runat=server attribute/value and do quote attribute values that aren’t plain words (e.g. your style attribute)).
