[jQuery] File Exists
[jQuery] File Exists
<div dir="ltr">Hi all-
Looking for a way to determine if a file exists before uploading. I'm working in <a href="http://asp.net">asp.net</a> and jquery, essentially my idea was to capture the submit of the form, and .get the file name to another page that would return true/false if the file existed. If exists, confirm file overwrite, if not just post it.
Problem is currently, it doesn't always catch that the file exists, and if I do get the confirm it seems to be ignored and just posts anyhow.
Here's some of the code:
<asp:FileUpload ID="FileUpload1" runat="server" />
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Submit" />
$(function(){
$("#form1").submit(function() {
return fileexists();
});
});
function fileexists()
{
$.get("Exists.aspx", { file: $("#FileUpload1").val() }, function(data){
if(data.toLowerCase() == "true")
{
return confirm("Overwrite");
}
else
{
return true;
}
});
}
Any help is appreciated,
Pete
