File Upload Issue in HTML

Question

Once I upload a file through input type, it then gets disabled, can't upload another file until the page is refreshed. I don't want to upload multiple files at once, but one after the other. Then click on submit.

My code:

<i class="fa fa-video-camera"></i>
<span>
    <input type="file" id="video-dancing" name="postVideo" accept="video/*">
</span>

So then you have to create another upload control dynamically. You cannot append files again and again. — Sankar, Oct 17 '16 at 05:27

Once the first upload is complete, simply add code to refresh the page.

is there anyother option where i dont have to refresh the page?? – Abizz Oct 17 '16 at 05:33
Then use multiple as people have suggested, I think using multiple you can select one file at a time and then finally hit submit. – termcap Oct 17 '16 at 05:35

use attribute multiple to select multiple files.

<input type="file" id="video-dancing" name="postVideo" accept="video/*" multiple >

@mahendrapratapjewaria : did you ever tried only multiple ? you should study first about something, then try to teach someone. for your reference got to - http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_input_multiple.asp – Ashraful Islam Oct 17 '16 at 05:31
@AshrafulIslamTushar read the question again. He Said **I don't want to upload multiple files at once** – Sankar Oct 17 '16 at 05:34
It doesn't look like OP wanted a multi file upload. – Sreekanth Oct 17 '16 at 05:36
@mahendrapratapjewaria : yes they both work i know, then you shouldn't say that "it should be". – Ashraful Islam Oct 17 '16 at 05:36
@abizz is there any particular reason why you don't want the page to refresh? – Masivuye Cokile Oct 17 '16 at 08:29
@MasivuyeCokile: that was something the client asked for! – Abizz Nov 04 '16 at 05:13
