select

Fires when a file is selected.

The cancelling of the select event prevents the selection from occurring.

Example - wiring up an event handler that triggers when a user selects a file

<input type="file" name="files" id="photos" />
<script>
    $("#photos").kendoUpload({
        async: {
            saveUrl: "http://my-app.localhost/save",
            removeUrl: "http://my-app.localhost/remove"
        },
        select: onSelect
    });

    function onSelect(e) {
        $.each(e.files, function (index, value) {
/* The result can be observed in the DevTools(F12) console of the browser. */
            console.log("Name: " + value.name);
/* The result can be observed in the DevTools(F12) console of the browser. */
            console.log("Size: " + value.size + " bytes");
/* The result can be observed in the DevTools(F12) console of the browser. */
            console.log("Extension: " + value.extension);
        });
    };
</script>

Each item of the array is an object with the following properties:

• name - The name of a selected file, including its extension.
