[FX.php List] JQuery and posting image-upload forms

[Steve Winter]

Hi Bob

Then that is using Ajax, and no, that won't work as written because you're not actually posting the form itself, you're building an array of values which you are then posting...

What you could try, instead of doing $.post(... as you do below, is actually then do a 'return true' which should then actually submit the form...

Is there some reason why you want to do this with Ajax, rather than just submitting the form....?

Cheers
Steve
