This plugin uses XHR for uploading multiple files with progress-bar in FF3.6+, Safari4+, Chrome and falls back to hidden iframe based upload in other browsers, providing good user experience everywhere. check this: http://valums.com/ajax-upload/

  • Use a hidden iframe and set your form's target to that iframe's name. This way, when the form is submitted, only the iframe will be refreshed.
  • Have an event handler registered for the iframe's load event to parse the response.

I did it with this jquery plugin. It pretty much mimics standard jquery ajax functionality, but also allows you to send data using iframe. No flash involved, pure javascript.

Here is a file upload example

Take a look at SWFUpload, it should do what you want.
