Sean/Remi - thank you both for your responses. at the moment, I am only trying to support iPhone and Droid phones.
I actually run my desktop app on iPad's and am adding this support there, but it's a normal submit and working fine. I have found that the OS's that don't support HTML5 file fields render the file field as disabled and then don't return the parameter in the response, so I downgrade automatically to my existing approach where they can email the file. Per Remi's suggestion I will try to implement something I find on the web for HTML5 ajax upload and see how that goes. I was thinking maybe someone had already done it and knows how it might interact with IUI form submit code. Sean - my IUI version is old and modified so I'm not sure we'll get a useful patch from this work.
