Hi dgt,
I think the problem is the following:
ajaxForm uses Ajax to send the data (XMLHttpRequest), but XMLHttp does
NOT support file uploading, so the way to send a file (image or
whatever) is to use an iframe. You can manipulate the iframe with
javascript by copying the <input type="file"/> elements or some other
way.
Also, just to remind you - if you upload data the form should be
enctype="multipart/form-data" and method="post".
Hope that helps.
Regards,
Emil Ivanov
