Unable to Upload file using jquery

Question

I am trying upload a file(pdf/doc) type from iE 9 to server using jquery fileupload plugin , but when response from server is returned of type json object , IE is prompting me to open/save that file. I get this as a pop at the bottom of the IE 9, Not sure how to get ride of it.

Exact message is "do you want to open or save file from localhost".

Check the content type from your server. stackoverflow.com/questions/6114360/… — Saravana

I have had the problem in the past. The best solution i found wast to a. serialize your response as JSON, and return the json as plain, instead of json, then convert the return string to a json object when it gets back to the client.

Very possibly a better way to handle it, but this is what I have done int the past.
