It was difficult to decide where I should post this. I think the issue is with jQuery though, I'm certainly no pro with jQuery, having only a few months experience.
Let me explain my problem. I'm using a form which has a file upload, and also sends standard text data. This form I wish to be ajax'ed. I'm using this code: $("#node-form").ajaxForm(function(){alert("Thank you for your submission!");}); If I upload an image, I'll still get that message, but the image is not uploaded to image.module in drupal (which handles image thumbnail creation etc) . In fact, it's not uploaded at all. If I strip the file field, and use a different content type (Story type for those who use Drupal, which just creates a page), it works beautifully. I therefore deduced there's something amiss with file uploading. How can I send an image with the Form Plugin, so Drupal can then generate what it needs. I have searched the list and the internet, but do not understand what to do. Please help if you can.
