Hey, I'm currently doing a little series on JavaScript programming
<http://www.thinkingphp.org/2006/12/30/a-php-developers-guide-to-javascript-part-i/>
on my blog and I think this would be an excellent tutorial for one of my
upcoming posts. So if you can wait I might write up an excellent how-to
guide about this soon.
If you can't, here is the basic things you need to do (and I highly
recommend you to use jQuery instead of prototype for it!):
1. Attach an event to the <form>'s onSubmit event
2. In the callback function, create an iframe on the fly, hide it and
set the form's 'target' attribute to match the name (or id I
forgot) of the iframe
3. Attach an onLoad function to the iframe
4. Then execute the form submit event yourself
5. In the onLoad callback of the iframe you should be able to access
it's content (I think). Otherwise return some JS in the iframe
that will pass some variables to window.parent, making them
available to your real site
Of course this isn't complete, but I hope it helps.

I used iframe, I was the only solution that I found.
I know this is the only solution (because security), but how You can
send the file to the iframe and how get back the results with
javascript (for example with prototye)?
