This attribute specifies the data that will be present in the form should be encoded when submitting to the server. This type of attribute can be used only if method = “POST”. It overrides the enctype attribute of a <form> element.

imageObject.formEnctype = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded,
multipart/form-data, text/plain"
