submitting dialog forms opens a new page instead of updating the current page (in browser other than firefox4)

fix dialog form handling for browsers that don't have form.getFormData()

[lento]

getFormData() was a firefox-specific extension to html 5, now it looks like they removed it and changed it to:

formData = new FormData(formElement);

that might work in chrome, too. See last comment here (Glenn Maynard, 17/12/2010): http://hacks.mozilla.org/2010/05/formdata-interface-coming-to-firefox/

(I can't check it now, so please try it and let me know!)

Your solution here MrPetru/spam@f3dab60 is good, but you might want to check two things:

• we don't want all elements in formData, for example we must skip submit elements
• is elem[i].value good for file elements? that is: does it give us the name/contents pair we need on the server side? (you can easily check it if you publish something)

if those two things work, let's go for it!

first solution (using html5) the function: formData = new FormData(formElement); work well in firefox4 but not in Chrome (my chrome version is 7.0)... the answer is: Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)

second solution (for all other browsers- I means commit MrPetru@f3dab60 ) file upload work in firefox4 but not in chrome (need inspection)

I found this: chrome do not support getAsBinary() this mean there is another problem in upload compatibility with other browsers
