skaterdav85 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 is there a way to select a folder containing several images to upload using the input of type file, or is it limited to one file per input? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wirehopper Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 One file per input.You could zip and unzip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synook Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 You could also generate an indefinite number file inputs as necessary, using JavaScript. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skaterdav85 Posted July 24, 2010 Author Share Posted July 24, 2010 i think you can upload multiple images. Facebook does it, but I'm not sure how. If you click on one of your albums, there is a link to "Add More Photos". Once you click that, there is a button that says "Select Photos". It acts like a <input type="file" /> element except it allows you to select more than one file. I just inspected the element though using Firebug and it shows the following which looks like flash. Does anyone know if there is some kind of free, easy to use flash object that can handle selecting multiple files for upload? My knowledge of flash is very limited. <embed height="23" width="100%" flashvars="id=3408210&aid=2454658&qn=1279931106&maxSelectable=194&dontPublish=1&height=23&user=3408210&log=no&div_id=flash_uploader_swf&swf_id=swf_flash_uploader_swf&browser=Mozilla%2FNetscape+6.x&string_table=http%3A%2F%2Fstatic.ak.fbcdn.net%2Fflash_strings.php%2Ft88884%2Fen_US" scale="noscale" salign="tl" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" wmode="transparent" quality="high" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" name="swf_flash_uploader_swf" id="swf_flash_uploader_swf" style="" src="http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/rsrc.php/z2Z7M/hash/a9g7jdvw.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"/> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striped Fish2 Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 One file per input.You could zip and unzip.I though that if you just hold down shift and select multiple files you could upload more than one, maybe I am wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skaterdav85 Posted July 26, 2010 Author Share Posted July 26, 2010 ya you cant just hold down shift. I wish that were the case. I hope HTML 5 offers a form element that allows for selecting multiple files. I did find this jQuery plugin however that uses a flash component, so I'm going to try this. http://www.uploadify.com/demo/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
