I use Chrome 12 on Mac OS X and I've included jQuery 1.6.1 within the document.

I try to read the contents of a file as text and save it in a data-object with the following function:

this.upload = function(file) {

    console.log('FileHandler.upload called with ' + file.name + '.');

    console.log(file);

    console.log(this.reader);



    data = {

        content: this.reader.readAsText(file)

    }



    console.log('Content: ' + data.content);

}

file seams to be a valid file-object and this.reader is a fresh instance of type FileReader. This code creates the following console output:
