How can i get the file upload button to work properly in my form using forms.js

I have a simple contact form that allows the user to upload an attachment.  Here is the code in the html:
<section id="content">
     <div class="container_24">
               <div class="grid_9 prefix_1">
        	<h2 class="top-6">MY attachment</h2>
        	<br>
        	Fill out the following fields to upload your attachment.
        	<form id="form">
              <div class="success"><div class="success_txt">Your attachment has been sent!<br /><strong> We will be in touch soon.</strong></div></div>
              <fieldset>
                <label class="name">
                  <input type="text" value="Name">
                    <span class="error error-empty">*This is not a valid name.</span><span class="empty error-empty">*This field is required.</span> </label>
                <label class="email">
                  <input type="text" value="E-mail">
                    <span class="error error-empty">*This is not a valid email address.</span><span class="empty error-empty">*This field is required.</span> </label>
                <label class="phone">
                  <input type="tel" value="Phone">
                    <span class="error error-empty">*This is not a valid phone number.</span><span class="empty error-empty">*This field is required.</span> </label>
                
                  &nbsp;<br>
                  <p>
				<br>Click browse to upload your attachment:
				</p>
				<br>
				<label class="attachment">
				
				<input type="file" style="height:14;" name="f2" class="f2" size="50">
				    
				</label>              
				<div class="btns"><a data-type="reset" class="button" href="#">clear</a><a data-type="submit" class="button">send</a></div>
              </fieldset>
            </form> 
        </div>
        <div class="clear"></div>
      </div>

It seems like the user is successfully able to upload their attachment using the form however when I receive the emailed form, there is no attachment.  Would I need to define the label attachment in my forms.js and mailhandler.php?

Here is my forms.js:

//forms
;(function($){
	$.fn.forms=function(o){
		return this.each(function(){
			var th=$(this)
				,_=th.data('forms')||{
					errorCl:'error',
					emptyCl:'empty',
					invalidCl:'invalid',
					notRequiredCl:'notRequired',
					successCl:'success',
					successShow:'4000',
					mailHandlerURL:'mail/MailHandler.php',
					ownerEmail:'me@myemail.com',
					stripHTML:true,
					smtpMailServer:'localhost',
					targets:'input,textarea',
					controls:'a[data-type=reset],a[data-type=submit]',
