Using Javascript is it possible to listen for browser's file open/save dialog box event. I want to perform an action when I am notified that the save file dialog box has opened now. Specifically I want to hide a loading spinner when dialog box opens (but this could very well be any other action )

Event

I believe I can do that for a dialog box that I create, not sure if it can be done for the browser's standard dialog box.

Yes! You can take advantage that most browsers (Tested okay on Chrome, Firefox, and IE) fire the beforeunload event just before the Individual-file Download dialog opens.

So code like this will work:

Javascript file picker dialog


Open and run this snippet to see it in action:

Note that beforeunload will also fire before the tab or window is closed, so plan accordingly. That should not be an issue for this question as stated.

Watch all elements that can invoke the file dialog.

For example, handle click events on <input type='file' /> elements.something like:

hello Irn,

Thanks for your reply, on the devdex.com forum.
I don't know what the devdex.com forum is, this is a Usenet newsgroup
and it is not affiliated with devdex.com.
Actually, when I click on tbe browse button <input type=file name=bar>.
I would like the selected file name to be inseted in a text field which
is placed next to the button.
You can do this with the onchange handler on the file input. See below
I tried using a onclick event but it gets fired before the dialog box is
displayed so i cannot retrieve the name
<input type =text name=mytext>
<input type=file name=bar>.

<form ..>
<input type='text' name='mytext'>
<input type='file' name='bar'
onchange='this.form.elements.mytext.value = this.value'>
</form>
