ajax上传文件(html5),HTML5 AJAX多个文件上传

我遇到了这个简单的js ajax上传代码($.post由于某种原因，jquery 似乎不适用于HTML5)，

/* If you want to upload only a file along with arbitary data that

is not in the form, use this */

var fd = new FormData();

fd.append("file", document.getElementById('file').files[0]);

/* If you want to simply post the entire form, use this */

//var fd = document.getElementById('form1').getFormData();

var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();

xhr.upload.addEventListener("progress", uploadProgress, false);

xhr.addEventListener("load", uploadComplete, false);

xhr.addEventListener("error", uploadFailed, false);

xhr.addEventListener("abort", uploadCanceled, false);

xhr.open("POST", "Upload.php");

xhr.send(fd);

但是我这里有两个问题，

这条线在物体之后是什么意思FormData？

fd.append("file", document.getElementById('file').files[0]);

为什么在那里需要ID？我能做些什么使用jQuery append() 用$('input[type=file]')？

此ajax仅用于单个文件上传，如何更改多个文件上传？
