No file Selected showing after a file has been selected

  • On my uploads page, I have a box saying ‘Browse’ (Firefox) No file selected
    When a file has been uploaded, this box does not disappear, but underneath a tick box saying delete appears.

    I would like the No File selected to disappear as I don’t want he option to upload another (When another is uploaded, only the info for the latest uploaded file is displayed, so you wouldn’t know that more than one had been uploaded.
    Is it possible to get rid of the upload box please?

    The behavior of file/image uploads fields in Participants Database is determined by the browser. This can be modified, but the plugin doesn’t do that, it just lets the browser handle it.

    When the user chooses a file to upload, the “No File Selected” text is replaced by the name of the file.

    A file or image upload field in Participants Database can only upload one thing at a time, so it makes sense that if another file is chosen, the filename is replaced with the new name.

    If you take the “Browse” button away after a file is selected, the user cannot change their mind about the file they chose. This is why the default behavior is to leave it visible.

    It is possible to change these things using javascript, and there are many ways to do this, but the plugin normally just allows the browser to handle how this works.

    The problem that I am having is that the “No File Selected” text is not being replaced by the name of the file. The name of the file is appearing as well as the “No File selected” text.

    I assume no one else is having this problem, so it must be something I have done.

    I have a lot of JavaScript working to hide fields not required, so maybe there is a conflict somewhere. I can perhaps remove this text with my own JavaScript as i have no idea where I might have overwritten the default behavior!!

    Thanks for reply.
