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

[Dale Bengston]

Hi Bob,

I'm pretty sure you can not use ajax techniques - staying on the same page and reload a portion of it - to upload files. Upload requires a page reload. I think it's a security restriction on AJAX-type server calls.

There are ways to fake it using iFrames and other techniques. I bet JQuery has plugins to handle such things.
