You cannot access binary data with javascript - it is server side only - Ergo you cannot upload files with Ajax style comms.
Post to an Iframe to get round this or use flash uploaders (there are many) to interact directly to the client.

Do I have to use an iframe for this, or will it work somehow using Ajax.request and trying to get the file in the form?
