Is it possible in Rails3, to have a multipart form => true & use remote => true

Question

I\'m using the following form tag for @jobs which have job_photos included.

<% form_for @jobs, :html => { :multipart => true }, :remote => true d         


        

Answer 1

The thing is that you cannot post a multipart form via AJAX. This is not a rails' limitation. In order to circumvent this, you need to use an iframe technique (which can be easier with responds_to_parent plugin) or use a technology like Flash or Silverlight.

Answer 2

You can use Remotipart gem for file uploads with remote => true.
