2.  Ajax Upload – ZURB Playground Image Uploads with 100% Less Suck. Guaranteed.

Using a little bit of jQuery we can upload images without the suck. We ditch the upload button in favor of a save button and fire the AJAX upload event as soon as a file is selected. The image is processed server side and a thumbnail is loaded onto the existing page. Dosen’t that feel so much better?

We now have a visual representation (imagine that) of the image we selected. This is particularly useful in larger forms when many fields will be submitted with a single action. It allows the user to review the form before pressing save and see what image (or images) they selected.
