Is there any way to open the browse for files dialog box when a <a href> link is clicked using javascript? It should function like a normal browse for files button and give the names/list of files selected in response.

Use the type="file" Attribute in HTML and onchange Method in JavaScript to Open File Dialog. We will create a button element in the following instance, and an onclick attribute will follow this. This will trigger a function in the JavaScript file.
Simply create an input element and trigger the click. var input = document. createElement('input'); input. type = 'file'; input.
click(function(){ $('#imgupload'). trigger('click'); }); This will open File Upload Dialog box on your button click event..
Here is a non-jQuery solution. Note you can't just use .click() as some browsers do not support it.
<script type="text/javascript"> function performClick(elemId) { var elem = document.getElementById(elemId); if(elem && document.createEvent) { var evt = document.createEvent("MouseEvents"); evt.initEvent("click", true, false); elem.dispatchEvent(evt); } } </script> <a href="#" onclick="performClick('theFile');">Open file dialog</a> <input type="file" id="theFile" /> Use this.
<script> function openFileOption() { document.getElementById("file1").click(); } </script> <input type="file" id="file1" style="display:none"> <a href="#" onclick="openFileOption();return;">open File Dialog</a> If you love us?
