Body
<p>I have a form that looks something like this:</p> <pre><code><form id="uploadForm" name="uploadForm" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <input type="file" id="uploadFile" name="uploadFile" /><br /> <input type="submit" id="process" name="process" value="Process File" /> </form> </code></pre> <p>I want to allow the user to upload a file, and then process it. When the user hits "process" I want to call this page using a jquery post (this form is being shown in a cfwindow, and I don't want to leave the cfwindow), do some processing and output a message. This is the code I would usually use:</p> <pre><code>$('#process').click(function(){ $.post('<cfoutput>#cgi.script_name#</cfoutput>', $('#uploadForm').serialize(), function(data){ ... some processing ... }); }); </code></pre> <p>However, nothing is being passed. Further investigation led me to the jquery documentation for the <a href="http://api.jquery.com/serialize/" rel="nofollow">serialize</a> function, which states:</p> <blockquote> <p>Data from file select elements is not serialized.</p> </blockquote> <p>How can I pass the file select element?</p> <p>(If this makes a difference - when I post to the page I'm using this code to read the file that is uploaded in the file select element:</p> <pre><code><cfspreadsheet action="read" src="#form.uploadFile#" sheet="1" query="spreadsheetData" headerRow="1" excludeHeaderRow="true"> </code></pre> <p>Originally I was just using the regular form post and it was working perfectly. I'd like to switch over to ajax so that I can keep the cfwindow open instead of reloading.)</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
