I'm wondering. Is there any way to upload picture to the server with using javascript(jquery)? And save picture path(name) into database?

I'm running Windows platform server in asp .net 1.1. (I'm remaking 10years old web page) There are absolutely no chance to use php that I know well..

Thanks for all comments, I'm pretty desperate..

Fappie.

  • Have you looked into jQuery AJAX? That may be a good place to start. – BobbyDazzler Jul 31 '14 at 14:46
  • Javascript isn't a required technology for uploading the file. You can accomplish what you want using only HTML and server-side ASP.NET code (not sure if you're using WebForms or MVC). – dkoch74 Jul 31 '14 at 15:02
  • I did. But everywhere is for example: action="upload.php" set on form. But I can't use php.. – Fappie. Jul 31 '14 at 15:02

You can't directly upload/insert into the database with javascript, you will need some server side code to handle where the file is saved and inserting into the database.

With that said there are a couple options.

First you have traditional forms - <input type="file" />

Secondly you have Drag/Drop and <input type="file" /> dataTransfer object, which contain the base64 encoded version of the binary data from those files. Here is a quick example: http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/dnd/basics/

Hope that helps!

The above link details how you can upload a file using ASP.NET. I don't think you necessarily need Javascript/JQuery unless you're doing some validation on the type or trying to do some additional UI stuff with the uploader.
