ufForm uses the largely unsupported `set` FormData method.

[Silic0nS0ldier]

As documented at MDN, full support for FormData is rare among browsers. This includes the set method used in ufForm. An alternative should be implemented, that gets executed instead if feature detection reveals that the required function is missing.

@x00x70 can you look in to this?

i can look, but am completely stacked right now

No rush!

So i've looked into this. in its current form it might not be easy to implement. Edge, IE 10 and Safari do not have FormData methods beyond append() and hence cannot access/modify the underlying data in the object. Options:

• re-implement this for every browser
• add another function for just unsupported browsers (and browser detecton. seems ugly)
• wait for browsers to catch up.
• the set() function is the only thing we use which is not supported. We use the set function for handling the binary check boxes. If we re-implement how we capture checkbox input for binary values, then we no longer need the set()function. This might be a good start: https://stackoverflow.com/a/20570060/7335809

When i originally implemented the formData object, it was to enable image upload via ajax. re-implementing this without a formData object might be a difficult challenge, as i seem to recall i used the formData objects for a reason.

thoughts?

Does library like Dropzone use formData to process uploads? If they do, they probably don't support checkbox anyway and won't be of any help, but if they don't use formData, then they must use something else to handle uploads...

That, or handle checkbox the traditional way php side ? 😈

Another way could be to append each form input to an empty formData ?
