6 years later and jQuery File Upload is clearly still driving folks insane. If you're finding little solace in the answers here, try a search of NPM for a modern alternative. It's not worth the hassle, I promise.
I recommended Uploadify in the previous edit but, as a commenter pointed out, they no longer appear to offer a free version. Uploadify was so 2013 anyway.
I'm trying to use blueimp's jQuery File Upload to allow users to upload files. Out of the box it works perfectly, following the setup instructions. But to use it practically on my website, I want to be able to do a couple of things:
All the files for the plugin are located in a folder under the root.
In all cases, the preview shows, and the progress bar runs, but the files fail to upload, and I get this error in the console: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'files' of undefined. I don't understand how all the parts of the plugin work which is making it difficult to debug.
The javascript in the demo page:
$(function () {
'use strict';
// Change this to the location of your server-side upload handler:
var url = 'file_upload/server/php/UploadHandler.php',
uploadButton = $('<button/>')
.addClass('btn')
.prop('disabled', true)
.text('Processing...')
.on('click', function () {
var $this = $(this),
data = $this.data();
$this
.off('click')
.text('Abort')
.on('click', function () {
$this.remove();
data.abort();
});
data.submit().always(function () {
$this.remove();
});
});
$('#fileupload').fileupload({
url: url,
dataType: 'json',
autoUpload: false,
acceptFileTypes: /(\.|\/)(gif|jpe?g|png)$/i,
maxFileSize: 5000000, // 5 MB
// Enable image resizing, except for Android and Opera,
// which actually support image resizing, but fail to
// send Blob objects via XHR requests:
disableImageResize: /Android(?!.*Chrome)|Opera/
.test(window.navigator.userAgent),
previewMaxWidth: 100,
previewMaxHeight: 100,
previewCrop: true
}).on('fileuploadadd', function (e, data) {
data.context = $('<div/>').appendTo('#files');
$.each(data.files, function (index, file) {
var node = $('<p/>')
.append($('<span/>').text(file.name));
if (!index) {
node
.append('<br>')
.append(uploadButton.clone(true).data(data));
}
node.appendTo(data.context);
});
}).on('fileuploadprocessalways', function (e, data) {
var index = data.index,
file = data.files[index],
node = $(data.context.children()[index]);
if (file.preview) {
node
.prepend('<br>')
.prepend(file.preview);
}
if (file.error) {
node
.append('<br>')
.append(file.error);
}
if (index + 1 === data.files.length) {
data.context.find('button')
.text('Upload')
.prop('disabled', !!data.files.error);
}
}).on('fileuploadprogressall', function (e, data) {
var progress = parseInt(data.loaded / data.total * 100, 10);
$('#progress .bar').css(
'width',
progress + '%'
);
}).on('fileuploaddone', function (e, data) {
$.each(data.result.files, function (index, file) {
var link = $('<a>')
.attr('target', '_blank')
.prop('href', file.url);
$(data.context.children()[index])
.wrap(link);
});
}).on('fileuploadfail', function (e, data) {
$.each(data.result.files, function (index, file) {
var error = $('<span/>').text(file.error);
$(data.context.children()[index])
.append('<br>')
.append(error);
});
}).prop('disabled', !$.support.fileInput)
.parent().addClass($.support.fileInput ? undefined : 'disabled');
});

I've just spent 2 hours battling with jQuery Upload but gave up because of the amount of dependencies (I had 13 JS files included to get all the bells and whistles).
I did a bit more searching and came across a neat project called Dropzone.js, which does not have any dependencies.
The author has also created a bootstrap demo which was inspired by the jQuery File Upload plugin.
I hope this saves someone else some time.
Droply.js is perfect for this. It's simple and comes pre-packaged with a demo site that works out of the box.
I struggled with this plugin for a while on Rails, and then someone gemified it obsoleting all the code I had created.
Although it looks like you're not using this in Rails, however if anyone is using it checkout this gem. The source is here --> jQueryFileUpload Rails.
Update:
In order to satisfy the commenter I've updated my answer. Essentially "use this gem, here is the source code" If it disappears then do it the long way.
You can use uploadify this is the best multiupload jquery plugin i have used.
The implementation is easy, the browser support is perfect.
For the UI plugin, with jsp page and Spring MVC..
Sample html. Needs to be within a form element with an id attribute of fileupload

I also struggled with this but got it working once I figured out how the paths work in UploadHandler.php: upload_dir and upload_url are about the only settings to look at to get it working. Also check your server error logs for debugging information.
it's 2021 and here's a fantastically easy plugin to upload anything:
https://pqina.nl/filepond/?ref=pqina
add your element:
<input type="file"
class="filepond"
name="filepond"
multiple
data-allow-reorder="true"
data-max-file-size="3MB"
data-max-files="3">
Register any additional plugins:
FilePond.registerPlugin(
FilePondPluginImagePreview,
FilePondPluginImageExifOrientation,
FilePondPluginFileValidateSize,
FilePondPluginImageEdit);
Then wire in the element:
// Select the file input and use
// create() to turn it into a pond
FilePond.create(
document.querySelector('input'),
// Use Doka.js as image editor
imageEditEditor: Doka.create({
utils: ['crop', 'filter', 'color']
})
);
I use this with the additional Doka image editor to upload and transform images at https://www.yoodu.co.uk
crazy simple to setup and the guys who run it are great at support.
As you can tell I'm a fanboy.
Hi try bellow link it is very easy. I've been stuck for long time and it solve my issue in few minutes. http://simpleupload.michaelcbrook.com/#examples
This is good Angular plugin for uploading files, and its free!
Check out the Image drag and drop uploader with image preview using dropper jquery plugin.
HTML
<div class="target" width="78" height="100"><img /></div>
JS
$(".target").dropper({

function onStart(e, files){
console.log(files[0]);
image_preview(files[0].file).then(function(res){
$('.dropper-dropzone').empty();
//$('.dropper-dropzone').css("background-image",res.data);
$('#imgPreview').remove();
$('.dropper-dropzone').append('<img id="imgPreview"/><span style="display:none">Drag and drop files or click to select</span>');
var widthImg=$('.dropper-dropzone').attr('width');
$('#imgPreview').attr({width:widthImg});
$('#imgPreview').attr({src:res.data});
})
}
function image_preview(file){
var def = new $.Deferred();
var imgURL = '';
if (file.type.match('image.*')) {
//create object url support
var URL = window.URL || window.webkitURL;
if (URL !== undefined) {
imgURL = URL.createObjectURL(file);
URL.revokeObjectURL(file);
def.resolve({status: 200, message: 'OK', data:imgURL, error: {}});
}
//file reader support
else if(window.File && window.FileReader)
{
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.readAsDataURL(file);
reader.onloadend = function () {
imgURL = reader.result;
def.resolve({status: 200, message: 'OK', data:imgURL, error: {}});
}
}
else {
def.reject({status: 1001, message: 'File uploader not supported', data:imgURL, error: {}});
}
}
else
def.reject({status: 1002, message: 'File type not supported', error: {}});
return def.promise();
}
$('.dropper-dropzone').mouseenter(function() {
$( '.dropper-dropzone>span' ).css("display", "block");
