I googled around some more and found that I could do this like this,
for example:
$('#upload').attr('action', "?pixel_size="+$('#pixel_size').val());
That does add pixel_size to the query string, but there are still
issue. I want the form to go to a certain view. In my original form I
had this:
<form id="upload" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data"
action="/report/CDSEM/DR4iBeta/dr4iupload/">
I added a onsubmit function so I could add my parameters to the action
attribute, but that seems to make it ignore the form action. I found
that it was not going the the above view, but instead to
/report/CDSEM/DR4iBeta/. So then I tried to redirect it in the
onsubmit function, but that turned it into a GET and I lost the files.
