Uploading pictures with ajax... possible in a way or another ?

Hi!

I need to upload a picture to my server via AJAX. Is it possible, and if yes, how?

thanks a lot in advance!

As far as I’m aware, you cannot send files to the server via POST using AJAX. It’s a security thing from Javascript. (I think.)

Is there any way to bypass that even if it’s not using AJAX ??

check out PORK.iframe.
http://beta.zapguide.nl/iframe/

It’s the old traditional post system. What it does, it’s basically automatically generate iframe and stuff all your content in there and do posting. It will fetch the result from the server and return in the format of either JSON or plain text that can be stuffed into any container.

WARNING: No documentation available.

is there any example? It seems to do what I need, but I won’t trow myself into something like that without further info...

Just use it.
View source the page, then you will understand how he use it.
Basically you just need to put onsubmit event on your form to intercept the form submit.
There are 2 way to receive the response, first is defining the update id container, and all the response from the corresponding posting will be put on this specific container id. Second, you can return the result in JSON format as an array. The array key will determined the element id, and the value of the array will be filled on that corresponding container id.

thanks... I will try!

yeah! easier than I thought... I’m gonna use that a lot then!

We then expect great examples and tutorials.

After i’ve finished that module, I’ll do it!
