Why is formData empty?

What makes you think it's empty? It works in a basic example: http://jsfiddle.net/y9yd6okn/ — Rory McCrossan, Dec 08 '15 at 11:35

Note that `FormData.get()` only works in Firefox and Opera. – Rory McCrossan Dec 08 '15 at 11:36

Are you sure? I get `Uncaught TypeError: formData.get is not a function` when I run it in Chrome 47: http://jsfiddle.net/pLyhnkw5/. Also [MDN](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/FormData/get) says that this has no support in Chrome. – Rory McCrossan Dec 08 '15 at 11:38
Yes correct FormData() works but get function not working. – Parth Trivedi Dec 08 '15 at 11:39
