Topic: MDB FIle upload not rendering properly

chrislennon priority asked 2 years ago


*Expected behavior*The file upload control would render as per the docs

*Actual behavior*It renders with no styling, i.e. no drag and drop ability

<!DOCTYPE html>

Do you have 'plugins' folder inside your project's main folder? Are you using MDB index.html starter file?

Check this plugin installation guide.

For some reason i can't see those lines in your code, which is neccesary to use any plugin:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="plugins/css/all.min.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="plugins/js/all.min.js"></script>

It's usually caused by installing free package instead of PRO, or not using our starter file, and forget to import those.

Thank you - yes I was missing the plugins css and js

As an aside I had to move the javascript references out of the head and into the body

As another aside for anyone reading this I found this stack overflow post helpful when it comes to getting the contents of the file (e.g. to upload to a server) - scroll down to the answer from endelss
