jquery-easybytes

If you store files sizes in your web application, it makes sense to use bytes server side. This widget makes this more user friendly on the client side.

Getting Started

Including it on your page

Include jQuery and the plugin on a page. Then select a input to convert to easybytes and call the easybytes method.:

<input type="text" name="filesize">
<script src="jquery.js"></script>
<script src="jquery.easybytes.js"></script>
<script>
    $("input").easybytes();
</script>
