I'm curious if it's feasible to make each new div unique on each appendTo call but still utilize the same jQuery functionality.
As shown in the markup below, every new div shares the same jQuery code and therefore doesn't work independently.
In my JavaScript, I'm selecting the ID to trigger each function.
I attempted to simply add + 1, etc at the end of each ID, but that changes the ID name causing the newly created DIV not to work.
I've considered using DataAttributes, but then I'd still face the issue of having to create multiple functions all performing the same task.
Any suggestions or solutions?
Thank you
$(function() {
var test = $('#p_test');
var i = $('#p_test .upl_drop').length + 1;
$('#addtest').on('click', function() {
$('<div class="file-input"><div class="input-file-container upl_drop"><label for="p_test" class="input-file-trigger">Select a file...<input type="file" id="p_test" name="p_test_' + i + '" value=""class="input-file"></label></div><span class="remtest">Remove</span><p class="file-return"></p></div>').appendTo(test);
i++;
});
$('body').on('click', '.remtest', function(e) {
if (i > 2) {
$(this).closest('.file-input').remove();
i--;
}
});
});
var input = document.getElementById( 'file-upload' );
var infoArea = document.getElementById( 'file-upload-filename' );
input.addEventListener( 'change', showFileName );
function showFileName( event ) {
// the change event gives us the input it occurred in
var input = event.srcElement;
// the input has an array of files in the `files` property, each one has a name that you can use. We're just using the name here.
var fileName = input.files[0].name;
// use fileName however fits your app best, i.e. add it into a div
textContent = 'File name: ' + fileName;
$("#input-file-trigger").text(function () {
return $(this).text().replace("Select a file...", textContent);
});
