javascript - Ajax file upload

Question

I want to upload a file using Ajax and php. I have a form with <input type="file"> tag. I want when user browses a file and clicks on submit, the file to be uploaded without a refresh. How should I do this ? It does't matter if refresh occur but i want to upload file with help of ajax.

Answer 1

• Use a hidden iframe and set your form's target to that iframe's name. This way, when the form is submitted, only the iframe will be refreshed.
• Have an event handler registered for the iframe's load event to parse the response.
