jQuery.Form外掛介紹

This page demonstrates the Form Plugin's file upload capabilities. There is no special coding required to handle file uploads. File input elements are automatically detected and processed for you.
Since it is not possible to upload files using the browser's XMLHttpRequest object, the Form Plugin uses a hidden iframe element to help with the task. This is a common technique, but it has inherent limitations. The iframe element is used as the target of the form's submit operation which means that the server response is written to the iframe. This is fine if the response type is HTML or XML, but doesn't work as well if the response type is script or JSON, both of which often contain characters that need to be repesented using entity references when found in HTML markup.
To account for the challenges of script and JSON responses, the Form Plugin allows these responses to be embedded in a textarea element and it is recommended that you do so for these response types when used in conjuction with file uploads. Please note, however, that if there is no file input in the form then the request uses normal XHR to submit the form (not an iframe). This puts the burden on your server code to know when to use a textarea and when not to. If you like, you can use the iframe option of the plugin to force it to always use an iframe mode and then your server can always embed the response in a textarea. The following response shows how a script should be returned from the server:
<textarea>
for (var i=0; i < 10; i++) {
// do some processing
}
</textarea>
The form below provides an input element of type "file" along with a select element to specify the dataType of the response. The form is submitted to files.php which uses the dataType to determine what type of response to return.
