Is there any way to detect the actual click event of the RadUpload Select button on the client side? In other words when the user clicks Select to browse for a file, I want to immediately call a javascript function. I understand that the control has to do a postback, but can call a javascript function before it does the postback?
Also, is there a way to detect, on the client side, that a file was actually selected?
Thanks

Hello Acadia,
I suggest you using the OnClientFileSelected event which the RadUpload control provides and set a javascript function for an event handler to implement your custom logic. Please, refer to this help article for more details about this client-side event and a sample code-snippet demonstrating its use.
Regarding the other question about detecting whether a file has actually been selected, you can check the value of the file input field via javascript - use the get_fileInputField to get the input field of the selected file which the eventArgs of the OnClientFileSelected provide. However, if you want to avoid someone type a path in the file input field instead of using the Browse dialog for selecting a file you can set the ReadOnlyFileInputs property of the RadUpload control to true.
Kind regards,
