jquery-ocupload

One-Click Upload is a jQuery plugin that replaces the standard file input element, allowing you to use any link, image or element to be used for the purpose of bringing up the "file browse" dialogue. It completes the upload behind the scenes without refreshing the page, making it less obtrusive and easier to style than a standard upload form.

Basic Usage

As a jQuery chained function

$(element).upload( /** options */ );

As a stand-alone jQuery function

$.ocupload($(element), /** options */ );

Options

Both of the functions accept an optional options object, which can contain any or all of the following:

name (default: "file")

The name of the file input form element.

enctype (default: "multipart/form-data")

The enctype attribute of the form, it is usually a good idea to leave this as default.

action (default: null)

The form action attribute, the page that will do the processing on the server side.

autoSubmit (default: true)

If true the form will be submitted after the user selects a file (after the file browser closes).

params (default: {})

Additional paramaters to be sent with the file, creates a hidden form element using the key as the name of the form and the value as the value.

onSubmit (default: null)

The callback function called before submitting the form.

onComplete (default: null)

The callback function called after the action page loads.

onSelect (default: null)

The callback function called after the user has selected a file.

Example

var myUpload = $(element).upload({
        name: 'file',
        action: '',
        enctype: 'multipart/form-data',
        params: {},
        autoSubmit: true,
        onSubmit: function() {},
        onComplete: function() {},
        onSelect: function() {}
});
