hi Gilles, i was about to take the same path: convert YUI uploader into jquery for the new version of jquploader, because it's simply the best implementation i've seen so far (kuddos to yahoo). i'll be very interested with what you come up with. There is one issue i still lack for a good answer, i'd be interested in your opinion: say you want to control the uploaded file 's name, for example so that it does not erase an existing file with the same name: then the serverside script woudl produce a unique file name, according to a given logic (timestamp appended, etc), or simply to avoid empty spaces or quote characters in the name. Is it actually possible that the flash file returns the serverside-generated file name ?
