I spent all of yesterday trying to upload a file via AJAX only to read that it's not possible, without an iframe or something else involved.
Where's the iFrame in Wichert's code? Wichert, is it specified in the action code? action=/cms/addImage? Or is $.ajaxSubmit able to handle files whereas $.ajax isn't? Please shed some light...

If the response mimetype is application/json it will trigger the issue you described in certain browsers. If you drop that content-type header on the response you should be fine. Mike
