Image Upload

I wanted to upload a picture of the user via ajax. I checked the media plugin but found it a little bit hard seeing all those instructions. Is there any better way ? What is the best way ?

I was thinking of using the submit option of the jshelper . And i created the following page. 

<?php

echo $this->Form->create('Photo',array('type'=>'file'));

echo $this->Form->file('Photo.image');

echo $this->Js->Submit('Add Picture',array('url'=>'/users/savepicture','class'=>'button',

'before'=>$this->Js->get('#right-box')->effect('fadeOut') ,

'success'=>$this->Js->get('#right-box')->effect('fadeIn'),'update'=>'#right-box'

));

echo $this->Form->end(); 

echo $this->Js->writebuffer();

?>

In the controller I tried to debug ($this->data) just to get an understanding of how the file is uploaded . But i see no data being uploaded . The debug returns an empty array . Help me ??
