I have a form:

<form id="filess" style="padding-left:30px">
    @foreach(Element elem in Model.Elements)
    {
        @Html.Label(elem.Name + ":  ") 
        <input type="file" name="@elem.Name"/>
        <br />
    }
    <br />
</form>

And my javascript:

var form = $("#filess");
form.serialize();//returns empty string

Why am I getting empty string? I have names to my input elements so what is wrong here?

file inputs cannot be serialised to a string. – Rory McCrossan Jan 23 '15 at 10:54
@RoryMcCrossan thanks. I've been trying all day to upload a file async but couldn't; all methods found failed. Do you happen to know one that works in MVC? – Mihai Bratulescu Jan 23 '15 at 10:56
