Ok. By default, javascript doesn't support reading from files on the local machine. If you use an HTML5-compatible browser (Chrome, FF, Safari, Opera, IE 9+), you can use the form input type "file" to get the CSV and then use something like jQuery.csv <http://code.google.com/p/jquery-csv/>to parse the CSV into an array that you can use for the API. I'll try to build a demonstration script for you.
