How to delete the selected file from array using JavaScript

Question

I am trying to call the delete button to remove the listed file. Can anyone help me to build the logic.

$(document).ready(function () {
    $('input[type = "file"]').change(function (e) {
        var input = document.getElementById('fileUploader');
        var output = document.getElementById('divFiles');
        var HTML = "<table>";
        for (var i = 0; i < input.files.length; ++i) {
            HTML += "<tr><td>" + input.files.item(i).name + "</td><td>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<button ></button></td></tr>";
        }
        HTML += "</table>";
        output.innerHTML = HTML;
    });
});

Try this : $('table').on('click', 'input[type="button"]', function(e){ $(this).closest('tr').remove() }) — Chintan

You can remove the parent tr tag containing button delete like

$('.btnDelete').on('click', function () {
  $(this).closest('tr').remove();
});

@KavithaPrabhu input.files will be reset if you reupload files. If you want to keep the existing files, you can store those files in an array then rendering files from that array instead
