[edit] Features & Limitations:

• No progress bar, this is just a straight upload using xajax
• Pure PHP, no perl/cgi-bin required
• Works on Firefox (fixed the "Transferring info ..." problem) and MSIE
• Requires two additional files (one PHP and one Javascript file) to the base 0.2.4 xajax files

[edit] Basics

• xajaxExtend.php goes to where xajax.inc.php
• xajax_extend.js goes to where xajax.js
• demo.php goes anywhere

[edit] Files

• Download files (.zip) here: http://www.chrisgo.com/xajax/xajaxFileUpload.zip
• Contains ALL xajax files to get you going (new files are described above)

[edit] Notes

• This seems to only work for enctype="multipart/form-data" forms
• Needs to use onsubmit part of the <form> to call the javascript
