asp.net MVC3.0 : callbacks for use with HTML.BeginForm

Question

I am using HTML.BeginForm to upload files. This part works fine.

However, in addition to uploading files, I would like to populate a field on the same page with the name of the file selected.

Is there any way to do this?

edit: I am seeking to know the name of the file uploaded (after the upload happens).

Answer 1

You can use jQuery .change to append the name of the selected file to the div/area you want to display it

$('#myFile').change( function()
{
  var uploadeFile= $(this).val();
  //Append uploadedFile to a div/area
});

HTML

<input type="file" id="myFile" />
