Property Value

Type of currently using Image Uploader control.

Possible values are:

java for Java applet
activex for ActiveX control

You can use this property to utilize Java applet only in all browsers including Internet Explorer, although it is not recommended.

Example

JavaScript

var uploader = $au.uploader({
  id: 'Uploader1',
  type: 'java',
  //other parameters...
});

If you use Image Uploader PHP you can set the type property via the PreRender event, like follows:

PHP

<script type="text/javascript">
    function Uploader1_PreRender(){
        $au.uploader('Uploader1').type('java');
    }
</script>
 
<?php
  require_once 'ImageUploaderPHP/Uploader.class.php';
  $uploader = new Uploader('Uploader1');
  $uploader->getClientEvents()->setPreRender("Uploader1_PreRender");
  //other parameters...
  $uploader.render();
?>
