I have this file input and I know I can have an onChange event on it.

<input type="file" name="something"  />

The challenge with the on change event is that If I open the file picker and choose the same file again with will not be triggered. How can I make sure I can always trigger the event?

Try the ``input`` event (``onInput``) – Tracer69 Jul 01 '21 at 09:57
onInput seemed to do the same thing as change. doesn't trigger if you choose same file – iamafasha Jul 01 '21 at 10:01
Why do you want to do this? – Mario Murrent Jul 01 '21 at 10:13
