Hi,
I am trying to achieve multiple file upload using Ajax, or at least it should look like ajax (without page reload). Below is my code...
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<title>Uploader</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/django_forms_media/css/igp_edp-main.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="/django_forms_media/js/jquery-1.3.2.min.js">

<script type="text/javascript">
var file_array = [];
var file_name_cell,relation_cell, option_cell, sr_no_cell;
var rowId = 0;
var fileCount = 1;
var new_file_id = '';
var array_last_index = 0;
/* ----------- To add file name in the hidden field start ----------- */
function addFileName(fileId){
var file = document.getElementById(fileId);
for(var i=0; i<file.files.length; i++){
file_array.push(file.files.item(i).fileName);
}
$('#file_names').val(file_array.join('^'));
file.style.display = 'none';
createNewFileInput();
addRow();
}
/* ----------- To add file name in the hidden field end ----------- */
/* ----------- To create and display new file input start ------------ */
function createNewFileInput(){
fileCount += 1
new_file_id = 'files_' + fileCount;
var new_file_input = document.createElement('input');
new_file_input.setAttribute('type', 'file');
new_file_input.setAttribute('name', new_file_id);
new_file_input.setAttribute('id', new_file_id);
new_file_input.setAttribute('multiple', 'multiple');
new_file_input.setAttribute('onchange', 'addFileName(\'' + new_file_id + '\')');
document.getElementById('file_input_area').appendChild(new_file_input);
}
/* ----------- To create and display new file input end ------------ */
/* ----------- To add row in the table start ----------- */
function addRow(){
var table = document.getElementById('selected_files_table_body');
var last_row,
row;
for(var i=array_last_index; i<file_array.length; i++){
rowId += 1;
try{
last_row = table.rows.length;
}
catch(e){
row = table.insertRow(0);
}
row = table.insertRow(last_row);
row.id = rowId;

}
array_last_index = file_array.length;
}
/* ----------- To add row in the table end ----------- */
/* ----------- To remove row from the table start ----------- */
function removeRow(removeRowId, file_to_remove){
var row = document.getElementById(removeRowId);
row.parentNode.removeChild(row);
removeFileName(file_to_remove);
}
/* ----------- To remove row from the table end ----------- */
/* ----------- To remove specific file name from hidden field and array start ----------- */
function removeFileName(file_to_remove){
for (var i = 0; i < file_array.length; i++) {
if (file_array[i] == file_to_remove) {
file_array.splice(i, 1);
array_last_index -= 1;

</html>I am able to do it using simple submit. In the above code I can get the list of all the files, reomove some files and then upload the rest to the server.
but I want to do it like ajax, with the progressbar. I can not use the file api as python on server side does not get file object then.
Any help is appreciated.
