Why is my dropzone javascript form not working?
HELP!
I'm building the front end of a website and I'm using dropzone.js for image uploads. Now I've included the dropzone.min.js and the dropzone.css in the head and I asigned the dropzone class to the tag i wanted to convert. Despite this the form field isn't made into a dropzone field. Dropping images on the field results in the browser just showing only the image like it would usually do. I use a lot of different jquery or javascript plug ins so maybe there's something causing a conflict?
Firebug console says: Uncaught Error: No URL provided.
If you guys could help me out on this one it would be great! Thanks in advance

Answer
Even I faced the same problem. After some minutes of research, I found that we need to specify url for elements when not using form. But in your case you have used form tag for implementing dropzone, so it requires an action like..
<form action="some_target_url" class="dropzone"></form>
this worked for me..try this.
I found this in the website of dropzone.js in options table(scroll down)
