It is not possible send files using ajax.
Yes you can: http://www.w3.org/TR/XMLHttpRequest2/ This only works fully in Firefox 4 and Webkit browsers (last I tested). Firefox 3.6 lacks the FormData object, but has an API to read files from JavaScript, so you can form-encode the data yourself and use xhr.send().

I call this HTML4 fallback. I have a whole jQuery plugin that transparently uses an IFrame if the user's browser doesn't have any of required HTML5 capabilities. It lets you upload multiply files with additional POST data (e.g. file description, tags). Sadly, I can't open-source it just yet. -- Łukasz Rekucki -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
