I have tried to upload a picture file with file\_column plugin and form\_remote\_tag, but no success. When I do request.params.inspect it shows null for picture parameters. With normal form the file uploads nicely, so is it possible to upload file with form\_remote\_tag? ---

that’s one thing you can’t do with form\_remote\_tag. it’s mentioned on the Agile Web D. with Rails book, p. 391 of the Ajax chapter JJ [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) wrote: I have tried to upload a picture file with file\_column plugin and form\_remote\_tag, but no success.

COuld you guys briefly tell me how to install the three files that comes with Kyle Maxwell’s plugin. Just give me the general steps, Im not completely illiterate ;). After you install it, do you just use the form\_remote\_tag as usual?
