ran across this as well if it might come in handy to someone... http://blog.codeville.net/2008/11/24/jquery-ajax-uploader-plugin-with-progress-bar/ it uses swfupload.

Thanks for the tip! We're already loading jQuery, so I'll check to see if they have one as well, and if not probably go w/ the mootools option.

Hi everyone, I have done some googling on this, but haven't found anything useful. What I'm trying to accomplish is this: 1) User clicks custom button 2) That button pops up a file browser window, from which the user can choose which file to upload 3) When they select the file, it uploads that automatically. I've thought of dynamically appending a form, with an input type="file", but I can't seem to find how to automatically have that 'browse' button activate (and bring up the file system browser automatically that way). After selection, I know I can bind to the 'onChange' event, and submit the form. The whole idea is to have one button that does all the action for us, and the user never sees the form; they just get a filesystem popup where they can select the file and then it will automatically upload via ajax (so they can preview it). Thoughts/help are greatly appreciated!

Yeah, I'm looking for the same thing, spent a couple hours on it so far....anyone found anything?
