file upload in AJAX Javascript

[kariach]

Hello, I am writing a web app that collects some user input and an
optional image filename. When the user clicks submits, I use an
asynchronous XML HTTP call to a backend asp.net handler to process the
input. I have not been able to figure out clean way to upload a file
in this setup - Can someone offer some help?

thanks,
Simon

The Yahoo! UI AJAX library has a hidden iframe trick that allows file
upload in an AJAX-y kind of way. Perhaps it will give you the clues you
need to implement your own solution.

Not with ajax, not with comet, not with borax. You need user interaction
to do that.
