Open a file dialog when parent div is clicked using jQuery

Question

I want to open a file dialog when the parent div is clicked. If I click the first parent div, it should only open the first input file.

<div class="fileupload">
    <input type="file" class="file" name="image" />
</div>

<div class="fileupload">
    <input type="file" class="file" name="attachement" />
</div>

Answer 1

Just trigger the click event on the input element:

$('.fileupload').click(function(e) {
    $(this).find('input[type="file"]').click();
});

$('.fileupload input').click(function(e) {
    e.stopPropagation();
});​
