Rails spinoffs - Dec 2005 - RE: Form.serialize and Ajax.Request -> fileserialization and encoding

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.
