At the end of this section<http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/12#Components>in the book it says:
*Please note:* Because Ajax post does not support multipart forms, i.e. > file uploads, upload fields will not work with the LOAD component. You > could be fooled into thinking it would work because upload fields will > function normally if POST is done from the individual component's .load > view. Instead, uploads are done with ajax-compatible 3rd-party widgets and > web2py manual upload store commands. In the web2py cookbook<http://www.packtpub.com/web2py-application-development-recipes-to-master-python-web-framework-cookbook/book>, there is a recipe for this. The app associated with that recipe can be downloaded here: https://github.com/mdipierro/web2py-recipes-source/blob/master/apps/04_advanced_forms/web2py.app.upload.w2p. It uses the jquery.form.js plugin: http://jquery.malsup.com/form/#file-upload. The app includes a customized web2py_ajax.js (which is named web2py.js in more recent versions of web2py) with a custom version of web2py_trap_form(): function web2py_trap_form(action,target) { jQuery('#'+target+' form').each(function(i){ var form=jQuery(this); if(!form.hasClass('no_trap')) if(form.find('.upload').length>0) { form.ajaxForm({ url: action, success: function(data, statusText, xhr) { jQuery('#'+target).html(xhr.responseText); web2py_trap_form(action,target); web2py_ajax_init(); } }); } else { form.submit(function(e){ jQuery('.flash').hide().html(''); web2py_ajax_page('post',action,form.serialize(),target); e.preventDefault(); }); } }); } Anthony On Monday, August 6, 2012 11:49:27 PM UTC-4, Picheth wrote: > > I have a problem with the upload file using the LOAD (....., ajax = True) > > > please .. any help, cues or snippets of codes to accomplish this ... will > be greatly appreciated > > Picheth. > --
