javascript tutorial - [Solved-5 Solutions] jQuery Ajax File Upload - javascript - java script - javascript array



Problem:

Can we use the following jQuery code to perform file upload using post method of an Ajax request ?

$.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    timeout: 50000,
    url: url,
    data: dataString,
    success: function (data) {
        alert('success');
        return false;
    }
});

If it is possible, do we need to fill "data" part? Is it the correct way ? We only post the file to the server side. We have been Googling around, but what we found was a plugin while in my plan we do not want to use it. At least for the moment.

Solution 1:

file upload is not possible through ajax. We can upload file, without refreshing page by using IFrame. UPDATE: With XHR2, File upload through AJAX is supported. E.g. through FormData object, but unfortunately it is not supported by all/old browsers. FormData support starts from following desktop browsers versions. IE 10+, Firefox 4.0+, Chrome 7+, Safarwe 5+, Opera 12+

Solution 2:

An AJAX upload is indeed possible with XMLHttpRequest(). No iframes necessary. Upload progress can be shown.

Solution 3:

  • Use a hidden iframe and set our 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.

Solution 4:

In case we want to do it like that:

$.upload( form.action, new FormData( myForm))
.progress( function( progressEvent, upload) {
    if( progressEvent.lengthComputable) {
        var percent = Math.round( progressEvent.loaded * 100 / progressEvent.total) + '%';
        if( upload) {
            console.log( percent + ' uploaded');
        } else {
            console.log( percent + ' downloaded');
        }
    }
})
.done( function() {
    console.log( 'Finished upload');                    
});

Solution 5:

	$("#submit_car").click( function() {
  var formData = new FormData($('#car_cost_form')[0]);
$.ajax({
       url: 'car_costs.php',
       data: formData,
       async: false,
       contentType: false,
       processData: false,
       cache: false,
       type: 'POST',
       success: function(data)
       {
       },
     })    return false;    
});
