RE: [Rails-spinoffs] Form.serialize and Ajax.Request ->fileserialization and encoding

[Paul Shannon]

I’ve not looked into how it’s done but adding an attachment in Gmail (UK version) uploads the file without refreshing the window, and http://www.yousendit.com appears to send a file via some sort of RPC or AJAX. Maybe this could be another starting point for you.   Paul Shannon Web Applications Developer   Codeweavers Limited   Tel: 0870 443 0888 Fax: 0870 443 0889 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tarek Ziadé Sent: 14 December 2005 15:49 To: rails-spinoffs@lists.rubyonrails.org Subject: Re: [Rails-spinoffs] Form.serialize and Ajax.Request ->fileserialization and encoding   On 12/14/05, Gregory Hill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:   1/ I am trying to send a multipart/form-data encoded form through Ajax with    by calling Form.serialize, but it seems that files fields does not support this very well    Is there any special mode to use ?   You cannot send a file through Ajax.  You'll have to submit the form normally.  To mimic Ajax functionality, you could set the target to a hidden iframe, and on the server side, have it load some _javascript_ that affects the parent window after it's done.   Good luck. Ok, i'll see if i can use encoded hidden b64 text field then, thx   Greg _______________________________________________ Rails-spinoffs mailing list Rails-spinoffs@lists.rubyonrails.org http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails-spinoffs -- Tarek Ziadé | www.afpy.org Python - why settle for snake oil when you can have the whole snake?
