Javascript File Input Onchange Isn't Triggered When They Select A File With The Same Name

I have a file input in my webpage that allows a user to upload images. I have things set up so that when they select an image, the change event of the file input is triggered and i

Solution 1:

A simple solution is to do the following:

this.input.addEventListener('click', function() {
    this.value = '';
}, false);

This causes the change event to be triggered any time the user selects a file, because the initial click that opens the file browsing popup clears the input.


Solution 2:

this.input.bind('click', function() {
    this.value = '';
}, false);

instead of deprecated .addEventListener() try .bind()
