Hi, I'm attempting to use the jQuery Form Plugin on a page that has multiple forms. The particular form I am using to allow the uploading of files is the third form on the page. I'm also using that form within a modal dialog box, using the SimpleModal jQuery plugin. I have a Java Servlet handling the form submission.
I am having a problem when I try to upload a file. It looks like the request never gets to my servlet. When I fill out the other fields of the form out, leaving the upload blank, it's working fine. However, once I attempt to include a file to upload, the servlet never gets invoked. I understand that the XMLHttpRequest cannot send files over, but that the Forms Plugin utilizes an iFrame to do so. However, it's not working in my case. I've read a blog in which the person is able to address this, found here: http://www.ender.com/2008/04/jquery-the-jquery-form-plugin.html. I tried his suggestions of including a hidden field in my form, but it's still not reaching my servlet. Could the problem actually be the fact that I have more than one form on the page? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
