Re: client-side upload

Hello Todd,

I am not sure if I understand your question correctly, and you have  
probably solved it already, but you should be able to upload files  
from the browser, via JavaScript, just fine -- supposed you are  
loading the HTML with a <form> from the CouchDB itself, as a part of a  
CouchApp [http://github.com/couchapp/couchapp].

See this gist for a snippet: http://gist.github.com/354230
