For the first input it works well, but not for the second. Instead of updating the second one it updates the first. How do I separate this two input previews with the same function?
function readURL(input) { if (input.files && input.files[0]) { var reader = new FileReader(); reader.onload = function(e) { $('#blah').attr('src', e.target.result); } reader.readAsDataURL(input.files[0]); // convert to base64 string } }
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <input type="file" onchange="readURL(this);" required> <img id="load" src="../img/preview.png" alt="loading" width=50 height=50> <input type="file" onchange="readURL(this);" required> <img id="load" src="../img/preview.png" alt="loading" width=50 height=50>

Firstly, the IDs should be unieque, so set “load” to “load1” and “load2” for the img element.
And you should distinguish the output target by the input.
$('#blah').attr('src', e.target.result);
always updates the element ‘#blah’.
Therefore, add an argument to the readURL() that specifies the output destination, and modify it to update there.
function readURL(input, target) { if (input.files && input.files[0]) { var reader = new FileReader(); reader.onload = function(e) { $(target).attr('src', e.target.result); } reader.readAsDataURL(input.files[0]); // convert to base64 string } }
<input type="file" onchange="readURL(this, '#load1');" required> <img id="load1" src="../img/preview.png" alt="loading" width=50 height=50> <input type="file" onchange="readURL(this, '#load2');" required> <img id="load2" src="../img/preview.png" alt="loading" width=50 height=50>
