I'm working on an iframe
file uploader (so my file uploader appears to be ajax). I'm trying to take the form on my page and insert it into an iframe
. Then I will submit the form inside the iframe
. However, it isn't working. Here is my code:
jQuery:
function submitFile() {
$(document).ready(function() {
if ($('[name=files]').val() != "")
{
var fileForm = $('#attachFile').html();
$('#emptyDiv').html('<iframe name="hiddenIframe" id="hiddenIFrame">'+fileForm+'</iframe>');
}
});
}
HTML:
<body>
<div id="emptyDiv"></div>
<div id="attachFile">
<form action="my_file.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" id="uploadFile">
<input type="file" name="files" id="files">
<input id="fileUploadButton" type="submit" name="upload" value="Upload File" onclick="submitFile()">
</form>
</div>
</body>
This obviously isn't a complete solution, but I notice that after submitting the form I do manage to get the iframe
inserted into the <div id="emptyDiv">
element. However, inside the iframe
is the following code:
#document
<html>
<head></head>
<body></body>
</html>
But what I expect to see inside the iframe
is the html contents located inside the form <div id="attachFile">
. What am I missing?
Try turning your HTML into a separate page and referencing it with the
src
attribute of theiframe
.You don't try to copy the form to a hidden iframe, you submit the form to the hidden iframe. Set the
target
attribute (or property) of the form to the name of the iframe.or
