Sorry my english is not that good. I tried doing it this way
HTML CODE
<form>
<div class="row row-images">
<label for="image">Images*</label>
<div class="column image_container">
<div class="post-image-collection">
<label id="list">
</label>
<label class="post-image post-image-placeholder mrm mts empty">
<input type="file" id="Photofile" name="images[]" required="required" multiple />
<span class="icon-camera"><img src="https://cdn.onlinewebfonts.com/svg/img_134042.png"></span>
<p class="uppercase">Photo</p>

continue;
}
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.onload = (function (theFile) {
return function (e) {
var span = document.createElement('span');
span.innerHTML = ['<img class="thumb mrm mts" src="', e.target.result, '" title="', escape(theFile.name), '"/><span class="remove_img_preview"></span>'].join('');
document.getElementById('list').insertBefore(span, null);

}
}
$('#Photofile').change(function(evt){
handleFileSelect(evt);
});
$('#list').on('click', '.remove_img_preview',function () {
$(this).parent('span').remove();
//this is not working...
var i = array.indexOf($(this));
if(i != -1) {
array.splice(i, 1);
}
// tried this too:
//$(this).parent('span').splice( 1, 1 );
count--;
});
Please any help?
I have fixed your code. Find it here: https://plnkr.co/edit/zjKMcigaZ3t6kLZv9aOc?p=preview. Also you don't need to check if the uploaded files is an image using javascript. You can prevent user from uploading other files using the accept
attribute. Like this:
accept="image/*"
Let me know if you have any doubts.
