Uploading Files In The Background
Posted: Fri Oct 06, 2006 4:37 pm
I'm developing a small app that will allow the user to quickly and easily import dozens of products into zencart. It's pretty much finished the alpha stage right now, just needs input validation and beta testing (any takers?)...
The next stage of the design is to "ajaxify" things a little. Most of that is done (lovely dhtml effects and what not) however, what is holding me back from completing the ajax part of it, is how to handle the image upload routine...
I have it working perfectly w/o javascript, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to go about uploading the images without reloading the page.
Is this even possible?
ps: this app DOES NOT actually import into zencart, it's used to format a CSV file with all the required fields (20+ columns), for easy import with an existing zencart plugin that requires the user to format the csv file themselves.
