XMLHttpRequest POST multipart/form-data

Question

I want to use XMLHttpRequest in JavaScript to POST a form that includes a file type input element so that I can avoid page refresh and get useful XML back.

I can sub

Answer 1

I don't see why iframe (an invisible one) implies XHTML and not ANY content. If you use an iframe you can set the onreadystatechange event and wait for 'complete'. Next you could use frame.window.document.innerHTML (please someone correct me) to get the string result.

var lFrame = document.getElementById('myframe');
lFrame.onreadystatechange = function()
{
   if (lFrame.readyState == 'complete')
   {
      // your frame is done, get the content...
   }
};
