That's close (no visible way to clear the full list of uploaded items
for a re-select), though I haven't tried that page in various browsers,
nor tried to see what it takes to use it. Are there docs, what's the
release status, how well has it been tested, in which browsers, etc?
Also, I never came across this one in my googling-about.
In general, it looks like it's a work in progress, whereas the moo
solution is documented, tested, etc.
?
Is Flash involved? I didn't see any sign of it. If not, how's that
multi-select dialog work?

It is not that shocking to me -- these are some difficult
requirements that developers have always struggled with, as far as
Javascript solutions -- especially numbers 4 and 7. Flash seems to
handle multi-file uploads a little more easily.
If mootools has been able to overcome these obstacles in pure JS that
is very impressive.
Have at it Benjamin!

Wow, it is shocking the none of jQuery file uploaders have those
ability. That may be something I need to work on. Very shocking.
I wish I knew how to get around the mootools issue, just never
worked with it before.

I want to do this and have evaluated and tried a few plain-js
and jquery based solutions:
http://digitarald.de/playground/uplooad.html
required abilities:
1. select multiple files at once via browse dialog
2. list all selected files separately
3. remove any selected file before uploading and during upload
(if not started)
4. per-item progress bars (and ability for individual uploads to
complete before whole batch does)
5. clear completed list easily
Nice to haves:
6. restrict selections by file extension
7. file-size limit enforced on client side
Additionally: I'm looking for a solution that has most/all of
this already packaged (since this mootools uploader does and has
therefore set the bar) so that implementation time will be
minimal.
FWIW, all of the jq-based plugins I've looked at so far did not
meet *all* requirements or came close, but had various
browser-specific issues (crashing browsers, not loading from
local cache) that made us give up on them.

@GTG, great question, I second that.
@Jack, if you can explain what you are trying to do with
mootools, maybe we can come up with an alternative.

I don't think there is a way to make mootools play well
with other libraries when using the infamous "$". jQuery
is probably the only library that understands this concern
and has implemented appropriate precautions in its code
base.
That said, to look at ur needs from a
higher level, i
think i will first need to understand what is that u r
doing with mootools that can't be done in jquery. If we
are able to easily achieve the same using jQuery, then you
wont have to use mootools at all in the first place...
