HTML <input type='file'> File Selection Event

Question

Listen to the change event.

input.onchange = function(e) { 
  ..
};

When you have to reload the file, you can erase the value of input. Next time you add a file, 'on change' event will trigger.

document.getElementById('my_input').value = null;
// ^ that just erase the file path but do the trick

jQuery way:

$('input[name=myInputName]').change(function(ev) {

    // your code
});

That's the way I did it with pure JS:

var files = document.getElementById('filePoster');
var submit = document.getElementById('submitFiles');
var warning = document.getElementById('warning');
files.addEventListener("change", function () {
  if (files.files.length > 10) {
    submit.disabled = true;
    warning.classList += "warn"
    return;
  }
  warning.classList -= "warn";
  submit.disabled = false;
});

#warning {
    text-align: center;
    transition: 1s all;
}

#warning.warn {
    color: red;
    transform: scale(1.5);
}
