Re: file upload with ajax

I've written an application where I do multiple file uploads in the
background using AJAX, so its definitely possible.

Personally I don't use the built in ajax functionality because I
prefer jquery to the prototype library. I tend to do it by hand. If
you do it that way, the trick is to realise that the data doesn't come
in $this->data but in $this->params['form'] (well, mostly in form). do
a quick debug on the $this->params and you should see the data that
you're passing through.

Hope you come right.
