"Add files" button not working in IE8

Hi Ducktape, Im having the same issue, did you find the solution for this?

Thanks in Advance..!!

I experienced this issue as well. Spent a wee bit hours looking into it, best I came up with was a stackoverflow post about making the parent container display block. Not sure if this helps: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8723491/flash-runtime-doesnt-work-in-...

Had the same problem and updating to the latest Plupload 2 Beta dated Wed 28-11-2012 from the plupload website seemed to fix the problem.

I updated to the latest Plupload 2 Beta and now the "Add files" button does not work at all in IE 8 and 9. The old version worked the first time and then I would have to clear browser cache in order for it to work again. Now clicking the "Add files" button just jumps the page to the top.

@genox - are you able to provide more details on your solution. I removed the reference to "html4" in both filefield_sources_plupload.module and plupload.module and it didn't fix the issue.

I am experiencing this issue in IE9.

drupal 7.18
filefield_sources 7.x-1.7
plupload 7.x-1.1

All works ok first time uploading images. Then once they are uploaded, the "add files" link does nothing but take you to the top of the page.

Given that this issue affects basic functionality in IE9 I have changed its priority to major.

I am will to pay a developer to fix this issue (within reason). Any takers?

sorry forgot to update Priority

I'm also having trouble with this too on IE8 and lower when using the Flash runtime. This problem seems to happen very frequently, but there are some cases that I cannot reproduce where the "Add file" actually works.

I don't exactly have this same exact cause, but the end result is the same where clicking on the "Add files" link returns back to the top of the page from the a href=#. I'm currently using entityforms content where users can submit a form with the ability to upload files through the use of filefield sources / plupload widget.

Current setup:
drupal 7.16
filefield_sources 7.x-1.7
plupload 7.x-1.0
jquery update 7.x-2.3

IE9 works fine as well as FF and Chrome.

I haven't tried other approaches as this seem like the best multiple upload tool available so far.

I think I have fixed my issue adding some js code to the plupload.js in this module. If anyone can give it a shot and let me know their results, I'd like to hear that!

I added this line of code below to the attach behavior function, as well as $(document).ready

  $(".filefield-source-plupload").click(function() { 
    var uploader = $('.plupload-element').pluploadQueue();
    uploader.refresh();
  });

in my plupload.js:

(function($) {

$(document).ready(function() {
  $(".filefield-source-plupload").click(function() { 
    var uploader = $('.plupload-element').pluploadQueue();
    uploader.refresh();
  });
});

Drupal.plupload = Drupal.plupload || {};

/**
 * Attaches the Plupload behavior to each FileField Sources Plupload form element.
 */
Drupal.behaviors.filefield_sources_plupload = {
  attach: function (context, settings) {
    $(".filefield-source-plupload").click(function() { 
      var uploader = $('.plupload-element').pluploadQueue();
      uploader.refresh();
    });
    $(".filefield-source-plupload .plupload-element", context).once('ffs-plupload-init', function () {

      // Merge the default settings and the element settings to get a full
      // settings object to pass to the Plupload library for this element.
      var id = $(this).attr('id');
      var defaultSettings = settings.plupload['_default'] ? settings.plupload['_default'] : {};
      var elementSettings = (id && settings.plupload[id]) ? settings.plupload[id] : {};
      var pluploadSettings = $.extend({}, defaultSettings, elementSettings);

I agree with ericc3, if you want the greatest browser compatibility than this is the best option. Multiupload Filefield Widget & Multiupload Imagefield Widget work well but are only HTML5 so no good for IE users for the time being.

Its the Flash runtime that I am having issue with.

Will do some debugging and report back.

@ericc3
Thanks a lot!! You solution works for me. I spend more than one day to find this solution.

Here is some info that may helps debugging. There is a transparent flash layer above "add files" button at the first time. When we click "add files" link button, we actual click the flash. At the second time, it becomes a zero size div. So we click on the link button to "#". add border style to .flash will show the flash layer. I find this by forcing plupload to use flash version on Chrome. It's too hard to debug on IE...

This is now added to latest dev-release. Thanks! :)

In Opera: when clicking on the "Add files" link returns back to the top of the page from the a href=#.
