What's an ajax method?

just submit to a hidden frame or iframe.

Is it one of the ways you clean your floor? Or, was it a ship? I forget.

It's the new name for an old technology.

You can't.

Instead, submit the form to a hidden iframe.

While placing a file on the server is a routine activity,
the method you have in mind will not work.

If your going to use <input type="file" ...> , you'll
need a cgi,servlet or similar on the server to receive the file.
If you aquire th file in some other fashion , perhaps building it
with a javascript function . you might be able to use XMLHTTP
and "put" the file. I assume this latter instance is what you were
thinking of when you said "ajax"
