AJAX uploads are not supported out of the box, you can check this page for help: http://sean.treadway.info/demo/upload/ and http://sean.treadway.info/svn/plugins/responds_to_parent/README

Install the plugin by entering "script/plugin install http://sean.treadway.info/svn/plugins/responds_to_parent/" in the terminal.
The readme of respond_to_parent will show you how to use it: http://sean.treadway.info/svn/plugins/responds_to_parent/README
If you're really uncomfortable with all of this, just use the normal form submit (don't use ajax). It will be hard to maintain something if you don't understand how it works.

I’ve read the readme and even created a project thats exactly the same.
This line results not one but two RJS template errors.
page << “alert($(‘stuff’).innerHTML)”
Tsk tsk tsk, the readme is a quick and dirty draft, the form wasn’t set to multipart, but as soon as you replace it with rails style erb tags, everything runs fine.
Example:
class TestController < ApplicationController
def main
end
def form_action
Do stuff with params[:uploaded_file]
if params[:uploaded_file]
responds_to_parent do
render :update do |page|
page << “alert(‘#{params[:uploaded_file].original_filename}’)”
end
end
else
render :nothing => true
end
end
end
main.rhtml
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>
<title>Test</title>
Here is some stuff
<%= start_form_tag({:action => ‘form_action’}, :multipart => true, :target => “frame”) %>
<%= file_field_tag(“uploaded_file”)%>
<%= submit_tag(‘Save’)%>
<%= end_form_tag %>
