Can jQuery AJAX Handle File Uploads via the POST Method?

jQuery Ajax File Upload - Can I Use POST Method?

Question:

Is it possible to use the following jQuery code to perform file upload using the POST method of an AJAX request?

    type: "POST",
    timeout: 50000,
    url: url,
    data: dataString,
    success: function (data) {
        alert('success');
        return false;
    }
});```

**Answer:**

Previously, file upload was **not** possible through AJAX. However, with the introduction of XHR2, file upload through AJAX is supported using the FormData object.

**Clarifications:**

* Data part must be filled with an instance of FormData to include file data.
* For older browsers without XHR2 support, file upload through AJAX is still not possible.

**Support:**

Starting from the following desktop browser versions, FormData is supported:

* IE 10+
* Firefox 4.0+
* Chrome 7+
* Safari 5+
* Opera 12+
