Ok, I am confused. Here is the jQuery script from the Form Plugin:
$('#uploadForm').ajaxForm({
beforeSubmit: function(a,f,o) {
o.dataType = $('#uploadResponseType')[0].value;
$('#uploadOutput').html('Submitting...');
},
success: function(data) {
var $out = $('#uploadOutput');
$out.html('Form success handler received: <strong>' +
typeof data + '</strong>');
if (typeof data == 'object' && data.nodeType)
data = elementToString(data.documentElement, true);
else if (typeof data == 'object')
data = objToString(data);
$out.append('<div><pre>'+ data +'</pre></div>');
}
});
It seems like alot of it is not needed for me. All I want to do is
return the HTML response. Also, is there a way to grab additional
HTML out of the iframe after submit?
