File file 'clear'

Hi!

When I put a file upload field on a form, is it possible for a user to select a file and the clear this selection when they change their mind and do not want to upload a file? Or do they need to clear the whole form?

Kind regards, Jip

Hi Jip,

This probably depends on the browser they use. In Chrome I can click Choose File again, then Cancel and that removes the selection.

Ok, I'll check what different browsers do... I use FF. Maybe a JS code on a textlink 'clear file' could also clear this field?

Hi Jip,

Not tested but Google found this code that looks hopeful.

I'll try that. Thanks!
