Javascript file upload

69
Hi,

Is there any way using a Ajax.Request object that a file can be uploaded from within Javascript. I have PHP but I don't want to navigate away from the HTML page back to PHP to upload the file. I have an HTML form that allows a user to create a page with images and text. I want them to be able to preview how the page will look whilst they are completing the form. I know how to use PHP to upload files through $_FILES.

Please help,

Sean

You can't use the XMLHttpRequest object for this. You can, however, use iframes as discussed in this thread.
