HTML5 Reading File
Question
I am trying to develop an application where it allows the user to choose a file and then read it and display the text on the screen.
My code can be found here: http://jsfiddle.net/5sy076n5/1/ .
<html>
<head>
<title>FileReader Example</title>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.4.2/jquery.mobile-1.4.2.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
function testRead() {
var fileSelector = document.createElement('input');
fileSelector.setAttribute('type', 'file');
fileSelector.click();
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Example</h1>
<p>Read <a onClick="testRead();">File</a></p>
</body>
</html>
You may notice that I don't have an input tag inside the body. This is because I want the user to click on the tag rather than the text.
My problem is what I am suppose to do after fileSector.click();? How can I get what file was chosen?

You have already created the input element on runtime and you have the reference of it fileSelector
You can simply use this variable to FileReader API
function testRead() {
var fileSelector = document.createElement('input');
fileSelector.setAttribute('type', 'file');
fileSelector.click();
fileSelector.addEventListener('change', function () {
var file = fileSelector.files[0];
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.onload = function (e) {
var text = reader.result;
console.log(text); // Select *.txt file and see console
}
reader.readAsText(file);
});
}
