File Upload without page refresh
Im really not understanding somthing with Prorotype, what I want to do
is call a piece of php that accepts a file from a form, process it and
return a very simple true/false. Now Ive been playing with it inside
of a form element and so far have this.
<script type="text/javascript">
function addImage( form ) {
var success = function(t) {
alert( ''woohoo'' );
}
new Ajax.Request( ''addImage.php'', {
method: ''post'',
asyncronous: false,
contentType: ''multipart/form-data'',
postBody: Form.serialize( form ),
onComplete: success,
// Handle 404
on404: function(t) {
alert(''Error 404: location "'' +
t.statusText + ''"
was not found.'');
},
// Handle other errors
onFailure: function(t) {
alert(''Error '' + t.status + '' --
'' +
t.statusText);
}
} );
}
</script>
<form id=''test'' enctype="multipart/form-data"
action=''''
method=''post'' onsubmit="addImage(
''test'' ); return false;">
<input type="file" name="file"
id="file"/>
<input type="submit"/>
</form>
The script seams to suceed, not nothing ever reaches the PHP, what am
I doing wrong?

You could use something like SWFUpload to mimic this behavior or use a hidden iframe. Just google it up and you''ll find plenty of resources on this matter?

Hmm SWF upload may not be feasible, but Im going to look into the hidden iframe idea, any further information appreciated.

Re: File Upload without page refresh
Okay for those people interested I have this now working, I''ll post something a bit later with the simplest example I can clobber together, thanks for the hint. I took inspiration from http://www.anyexample.com/programming/php/php_ajax_example__asynchronous_file_upload.xml The important bit which I missed was you target your form to the hidden iframe. <form action="script.php" target="upload_iframe" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <label for="file">text file uploader:</label><br> <input type="file" name="file" id="file"> </form> <iframe name="upload_iframe" style="width: 400px; height: 100px; display: none;"></iframe> Once I figured out how that worked it clicked On Jun 8, 9:39 am, "donkey....-gM/Ye1E23mwN+BqQ9rBEUg@public.gmane.org" <donkey....-gM/Ye1E23mwN+BqQ9rBEUg@public.gmane.org> wrote:> Hmm SWF upload may not be feasible, but Im going to look into the > hidden iframe idea, any further information appreciated. > > On Jun 8, 12:42 am, Peter De Berdt <peter.de.be...-LPO8gxj9N8aZIoH1IeqzKA@public.gmane.org> wrote: > > > On 08 Jun 2007, at 00:44, donkey....-gM/Ye1E23mwN+BqQ9rBEUg@public.gmane.org wrote: > > > > Im really not understanding somthing with Prorotype, what I want to do > > > is call a piece of php that accepts a file from a form, process it and > > > return a very simple true/false.
