Remove a FileList item from a multiple "input:file"

Question

I have this DOM:

var id = 0;

$('input:file#upload')[0].files[ id ]

That get's the first file on the 0th index. File properties are listed and all works, but...

How do we remove items from the DOM's [object FileList] with JavaScript?

Answer 1

I' am afraid that you cannot delete objects from FileList object directly. Just assign $('input:file#upload')[0].files to an Array and then remove items from that array using splice or method of your choice and then use that Array.
