Answer 1

UploadiFive is for HTML 5 browsers that support the HTML 5 file API.

IE 9 does not support the HTML 5 File API. The first version of IE that does is IE 10.

Use the older (and free) uploadify instead on older browsers. It uses a flash plugin to do the same job.

Unfortunately the API of uploadify and uploadifive are very slightly different so you need two lots of code (we wound up wrapping both in our own JQuery plugin which chooses between them, based on browser capabilities, and modifies a single set of options & HTML templates to suit. Worth doing if you have loads of sites needing this).

You can include both uploadify and uploadifive in the same page, just choose between them with the following test:

   if (window.FormData !== undefined) 
   { 
        // use uploadifive 
   } 
   else 
   {
        // use uploadify 
   }
