The server side script which accepts the upload can be anything... it is > expected to save the file on the server and return the server path of the > file. > 6. On completion of each submit, the plugin will insert a hidden/text > element to MYFORM, whose value will be the server path of the uploaded file. > 7. On completion of the submits, one can specify a callback function which > is called. At this time, the normal form serializer can be used to get the > path of the uploaded file. > 8.

Guys, is there a simpler way of doing this?
That's roughly the steps that you have to take... frustrating, isn't it? --John _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list discuss@jquery.com http://jquery.com/discuss/
