    copied!<p>I've been looking to do a photo upload form using a current AJAX script.</p> <p>At present I have the html form with the file input, on submit I have an onclick event with "PostForm(); return false;"</p> <p>This fires off to a process.php script where the magic happens (and I have working). However, I have a success and fail message that usually pops up with the process script returning a "1" or "0" value.</p> <p>I can get the form working just using "PostForm();", however the failure message appears straight away, followed by being redirected to the process page which displays "1". If I add return false; into the onclick event I get a success message however no file is uploaded.</p> <p>I assume that the "return false;" command is preventing the file uploading. Is there any way to possibly show a progress bar, or a spinner whilst it uploads and then display the success / fail message?</p> <p>Thanks</p> <p><strong>Update 1</strong><br> jQuery Code</p> <blockquote> <pre><code> PostForm = function() { $('.text').attr('disabled','true'); var data = $('form').serialize(); $.ajax({ type: 'POST', url: "/lib/mp-update.php", data: data, cache: false, success: function(html) { if(html==1) { $('#success').hide(); $('#success').removeClass(); $('#success').slideUp('50000'); $('form').fadeOut('50000', function() { $('#success').fadeIn('50000'); }); } else { $('#fail').hide(); $('#fail').removeClass(); $('#fail').slideUp('50000'); $('form').fadeOut('50000', function() { $('#fail').fadeIn('50000'); }); } } }); return false; } }); </code></pre> </blockquote> <p>PHP does a standard switch statement to identify which form has been sent from a hidden form value.</p>
