validating file fields

[squigs]

Hi I'm attempting to validate a file input field against duplicate entries. It looks something like this:

<input type="file" name='uploaded_file[]' class="file_input" id="uploaded_file" size="46"/>

The problem is that this input can be recreated several times through javascript,repeating the same name, class and id. I'm not sure of the proper way to validate against the new fields.

 

The code used to duplicate these fields is below:

      $(".add").click(function() {
      $("td.files_e").append('<tr><td align="left">
      <input type="file" name="uploaded_file[]" size="46" class="file_input"  id="file_upload"/>
      <a class="delete" href="javascript:void(0)" style="color:blue; padding-left:15px;">Remove File</a>
      </td></tr>');
});
});

 

Thank you for any help you can provide!
