Jquery file uploader and navigator

Question

I am looking for a jQuery plug in that will allow me to upload files and/or navigate to files on the file system.

It would be used to allow a visitor to add multiple images to a news article.

I am using ASP.NET MVC so it would have to be compatible with that.

Edit: Something like this would work great - KFM Demo

Answer 1

A quick search at jQuery returns several results that you could use:

jQuery Search: file upload

All of these are going to add the ability to select files and upload them to the server. The rub here is that jQuery is a javascript library and only runs on the client side. You're going to need to write server side code in your .NET MVC application to process the file uploads as you get them from the client.

Answer 2

Well, there is no plugin ready to do all that you want, but you could mix a JavaScript/Flash file uploading library (I like SWFUpload) and jQuery UI to make a simple photo manager.

Check this jQuery UI droppable demo.

Answer 3

jQuery is just javascript, so you can't get that level of functionality with just that. You'll need some ActiveX, Flash, Java, or Silverlight module.

Since you're using ASP.Net the obvious solution is SlickUpload and I think it may have some File System Browser stuff built into it.

Answer 4

This works like a charm.
