$(form).serialize() Workaround for File Fields

Question

As we all know, .serialize() and .serializeArray() conveniently misses file fields _{(also `hidden fields)}.

But, Is there a work around from which I could get the value of the file field from .serialize()?

P.S: I just intend to get the value, not upload the file._{(Of Course, Uploading file would be better if it is possible, but I dont think JS is capable of such action)}

Answer 1

You may checkout the jquery form plugin which supports file uploads as well.
