Error in Sending Form file with form using AJAX
I am trying to submit form using AJAX that contains CSV File. So the idea is sending the form using ajax, process it in different file by generating a table and call back the processed table back into the page.
What i Have is this,
<form id="uploadXls" action="" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input id="uploaderFile" type="file" class="file"><br/>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-orange pull-right" name="btnSubmit" id="btnSubmit"><i class="fa fa-download"></i> SHOW FILE CONTENT</button>
</form>
and the JavaScript is,
$("#btnSubmit").click(function(){
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: '../../content/maindiv_content/drawing/divpages/process_xls_file.php',
data: new FormData(this),
contentType: false,
cache: false,
processData: false,
success: function (response, textStatus, jqXHR) {
$("#showFileContentTable").html(data);
}
});
});
and im getting this kind of error in firebug,
TypeError: Argument 1 of FormData.constructor does not implement interface HTMLFormElement.
http://infserver/WeltesTankage/dist/js/jquery-1.10.2.min.js line 4 > eval
Line 14
What am i doing wrong here ? Please help me
Don’t pass the files into the constructor, but use append, like:
var formData = new FormData();
formData.append('file', $('input[type=file]')[0].files[0]);
data: formData
You can use this approach too.
var form = $('form').get(0);
this code returns a jQuery object($('form')) and pass a HTML element to FormData (get(0)).
then in ajax request: data: new FormData(form),
You pass this to the FormData constructor. In this context, this is the button clicked, identified in the error message as a HTMLFormElement.
According to the documentation the FormData constructor expects a form element. So you have to change your code accordingly:
var form = $("#uploadXls");
$ajax({
...
data: new FormData(form),
....
});

Try this form, it works for me without problems,
Greetings, I hope I can help you.
//normalize form
var formulario = new FormData($('#form_img').get(0));
formulario.append('file', $('#customFile')[0].files[0]);
//AND add in Ajax call
data:formulario
