Current workarounds exist like submiting form to an iframe but these are just hacks. What I am saying is that the XMLHttpRequest object should have a property like file which is an array and the IDs of the file upload input type can be stored in this array. When the submit method is called, the files are uploaded. Also, HTML5 should provide certain file upload related events - 4 events are suggested below a )onuploadbar - This event is raise each time a certain amount (bar) of percentage of file is uploaded. E.g. event is raised each time 10% of file is uploaded. b )onuploadcomplete - This event is raised when all files are uploaded successfully c )onfilecomplete - For multiple file uploads, this event is raised for each file that has been successfully uploaded d )onuploadfailed - This event is raised if any error occurs during upload causing the upload to fail 45816 1 jackalmage 2011-02-18 18:08:19 +0000 This is handled by XHR and FormData. 45857 2 mjs 2011-02-19 03:21:59 +0000 Not just FormData but also the ability to send a File object via XHR, and the xhr.upload object for upload progress events. 47998 3 ian 2011-05-04 23:30:59 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.
