hi
I know pretty much about HTML-PHP form building.
But I am new to jQuery.

My Question is :
Is it safe to use jQuery instead of HTML to upload files in a form?

I mean the security of the form.

Is it safe to use something like http://www.uploadify.com instead of HTML-PHP to upload images like avatars in a public website?

What precautions should I make?

    There is no issue using jQuery to help with uploads on your site. If you are looking at something like Uploadify, you should note this information on their About page:

    Uploadify is a jQuery plugin that
    integrates a fully-customizable
    multiple file upload utility on your
    website. It uses a mixture of
    Javascript, ActionScript, and any
    server-side language to dynamically
    create an instance over any DOM
    element on a page.     [emphasis mine]

    It is impossible to use pure JavaScript to upload a file due to security concerns, so, ultimately, you will be hitting server-side code at some point. And, as always, you should always perform security checks and validations server-side to ensure that everything is safe.
