There's no support for file uploads via XHR. To mimic it, though, you
can create a hidden iframe and set the form's target to the iframe id.
The server will send the response to the iframe. Here's a basic recipe
using JQuery.
$('#submit_button_id').click(function(event)
{
event.preventDefault();
/* form response will be sent to the iframe
*/
$('#iframe_id').bind('load', function()
{
/* grab the HTML from the view that was rendered
*/
var response = $(this).contents().find('body').html();
if (response.length)
{
// deal with response, clean up, etc.
}
else
{
/* this should do something a bit more sophisticated.
*/
alert('upload failed');
}
});
/* submit the form and perhaps fade it out, show a 'loading' gif, etc.
*/
$(this).parents('form').submit();
});
