Javascript ImagePreview












-1















I need a preview of an image after it got upload via <input type="file onchange="readURL(this);">.



I have found a solution on the internet, but that doesn't work for me:



function readURL(input) {
if (input.files && input.files[0]) {
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.onload = function (e) {
$('#blah').attr('src', e.target.result);
};

reader.readAsDataURL(input.files[0]);
}
}


"#blah" is the ID of the image(it is shown with a placeholder at first).
The Error I get when opening the Console, after I uploaded an image : Uncaught ReferenceError: $ is not defined at FileReader.reader.onload ((index):156)



But it works here : https://codepen.io/mobifreaks/pen/LIbca



Please give me a short explanation why this doesn't work for me and the solution to it.






  function readURL(input) {
if (input.files && input.files[0]) {
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.onload = function (e) {
$('#preview').attr('src', e.target.result);
};
reader.readAsDataURL(input.files[0]);
}
}

#preview {
max-width: 150px;
max-height: 150px;
}

<input type="file" id="files" name="file" style="margin-left:1px" onchange="readURL(this);"/><br>
<img id="preview" src="" alt=""/>

    You are just missing <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"> reference into your file and it should work. This can be achieved without jquery too

  • Either jQuery is missing or you are not aware that $ is the alias for the jQuery and you forgot to add it in the page. Instead just translate it in javascript syntax.
