IE tries to download json response while submitting jQuery multipart form data containing file

Question

I\'m trying to submit a form with a file field in it via jQuery.Form plugin, here\'s the code:

$(\'form\').ajaxSubmit({
  url: \"/path\",
  data         


        

Answer 1

This site has some info about wrapping the response in a http://forum.jquery.com/topic/jquery-form-malsup-ie7-file-download-security-warning-on-ajax-file-upload

I seemed to be able to fix my problem by making my server return the JSON as a string. Then I used JSON.parse() inside the complete event.
