- Resolution set to invalid
The serialize method can't get the contents of the file so I don't understand why it would need to serialize the file form field. You'd have to use one of the Ajax File upload plugins to get the contents via AJAX.

Replying to brandon:

It's useful to get the filename for validation.
Please follow the bug reporting guidlines and use jsFiddle when providing test cases and demonstrations instead of pasting the code in the ticket.
Seems like a pretty simple fix, it looks like the test for type just needs to have file added to it.
