Is it possible to create a multipart form that uploads the file using an AJAX remote call? I'm having a hard time figuring out the syntax if it is possible!
Thanks, Tom
Hi, I can tell you that is absolutely not possible to upload files with AJAX or Javascript of any kind. JS has always been prevented from accessing the client filesystem as a basic security feature. The only way is regular POST

Which is but one solution to the problem. I prefer SWFUpload (http://swfupload.mammon.se/), because it doesn’t involve polling the server for upload progress (the small flash movie monitors the upload stream) and it allows better file selection (filtering of files, max size, multiple selections in dialog, …). You can see an implementation at http://demo.placid.be/albums/11;manage
It isn't possible. You can upload to a hidden div, though. Here's a plugin that helps with that:
