ajax file upload

Question

I am struggling to get a file uploaded, processed and displayed without reloading the page. What do I use for jquery to get the file posted to the server properly?

Answer 1

Using vanilla HTML, it is impossible to upload a file over an AJAX request. Take a look at something along the lines of SWFUpload. You can upload multiple files, specify wildcard filters for file section, and have the ability to display progress bars and other status information during the upload.
