    Hi,
    I wonder if there is any way to include in a dropzone container a functionality of uploading a file
    by clicking on it? In other words keep two functionalities in one place.

    I'll leave here the dojo sandbox for reference  https://dojo.telerik.com/iFEriwoK

    Best regards,

    Emanuele

    Hi Emanuele,

    You can attach a click handler to the span element in the dropzone:
    <span style="color: red;" onclick="onClick()">or click here</span>

    And in the handler trigger the click event of the Upload's input element:
    function onClick() {
      $("#files").click();
    }

    This way clicking on the span will bring up the Upload's file selection dialog. Updated dojo example.
