Thread: How to upload a file by clicking a link instead of button?

Hello raghuprasad,

Chris is right, this is a Java forum, not a JavaScript forum. The two languages are different.

I think I can help you with this one though regardless..

If you were to do this with JavaScript, all you need to do is add a 'onclick' to the href link which calls the desired function.

For example, create the upload function and put it on your page:

<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
<!--hide
function upload()
{
//upload code here
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>

Then on your href link:

<a href="javascript:upload()">Attach an image</a>

When the 'Attach an image' link is clicked, the upload function is called.
