jQuery / AJAX - send additional data together with file upload

Question

I am uploading files to the server using jQuery:

 $.ajax({
    url : \'http://www.example.com\',
    dataType : \'json\',
    cache : false,
    contentType          


        

Answer 1

You have to serialize the form using the FormData object instead of only sending the file.

var formData = new FormData($("form")[0]);
