    fileUpload style

    scott.johnston

      Is there any way to make the fileUpload component look like a normal input type="file" html tag?

      If not, what combination of attributes and style hacks would get me here?

      I'm hoping that someone else has needed this at some point.

          Hello,

          Better use Seam or Tomahawk file upload components.

            Hi,
            I just made it this way:
            Right side of every (disabled) inputText a FileUpload with following settings:
            - listHeight=0 (so there is no list any more)
            - immediateUpload=true (so there is no button upload any more)
            - autoclear=true (so there is no button clear any more)

            All the rest is according the demo application. (Especially i added the 'delete' button right side of FileUpload-Tag; with same look like the remaining add-button, using div's and styles of rich-fileupload-button)

              Could you give us a full example?

                Please see the file Upload demo application from Ilya Shaikovsky is full i took the same code - just make the few parameter changes mentioned (also set uploadsAvailable to 1). Show the uploaded file instead in a disabled input field and arrange right of it the upload-tag and clear(delete) button which calls fileUploadBean.clearUploadData(). Make this for each file; each file has its own upload- and clear-button.

                  I've tried with all possible attribute combinations but it does not look like a normal input type="file" html tag.

                  Did someone successfully resolved the problem?

                  Did someone successfully added tomahawk component (bad solution, IMHO)?

                  Did someone successfully wrote own component?

                    begin with next code.. create custom facelet with something like that:

                    <ui:composition xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
                    <style>
                    .top {
                    vertical-align: top;
                    }
                    .info {
                    height: 202px;
                    overflow: auto;
                    }
                    .rich-fileupload-list-decor,.rich-fileupload-toolbar-decor {
                    background: none;
                    border: none;
                    }
                    .rich-fileupload-list-decor {
                    float: right;
                    }
                    .rich-fileupload-list-overflow {
                    display: none;
                    }
                    </style>
                    <script type="text/javascript">
                    function add(event){

                    jQuery('.rich-fileupload-toolbar-decor .rich-fileupload-button-border')[0].style.display='none';
                    }
