Dragging a file into the browser window (Chrome 8, Win 7) I get a popup saying "Invalid extension: ".
I guess it can use some more work.

#22Earlier quoted context omitted.
I read this comment, went to look at it, and still clicked on the header just because I couldn't believe it wasn't actually a button. Calling it "not very good" is a lot nicer than it deserves. It makes no sense to sacrifice functionality for "beauty" in a file upload widget. (And it's not like the rest of it is especially nice looking anyway.) I'm also really kind of wondering why it's so large. It takes up 258180 p…
As mentioned below, this seems very good http://valums.com/ajax-upload/ I'd be more comfortable styling this to fit my needs than a forced fully blown gizmo
The "forced fully blown gizmo" is basically a demo for the underlying code and is completely separate to it. Looking at the github repo, there is apparently a new style jQuery UI demo to replace this.
As someone who has built code against it, you would be foolish to dismiss it.

#23@samdk: Plupload is separated into a core API and a jQuery widget that has the UI. So if you don't like the UI you can just change it anyway you like. Also I think you should buy a bigger screen if you think it's to large. 800x600 isn't the default screen size these days. :) @xcvd: HTML5 upload is far from ready yet. Since only the absolutely latest browsers support it and some of them have pretty serious bugs or lim…
"You browser doesn't have Flash, Silverlight, Gears, BrowserPlus or HTML5 support."
My browser has support but it's being completely ignored. I hope whoever wrote this markup will study progressive enhancement, because ugly is better than unusable.

Re: Plupload - A beautiful file uploader powered by jQuery
#25I have used this, it really works well. You dont have to use the example UI they give you, you can build your own. It throws all the relevant events from a unified API. The UI you see exists in a totally separate library from the core.
I have put it in a couple of projects. Best file upload solution I've found.
It's from moxiecode, the people who did TinyMce.

#26Uploadify is also a jQuery plugin and works really well for us:

You can chose to enable/disable the various uploading methods at runtime, including HTML4. This must have been disabled on the example you looked at.
Re: Plupload - A beautiful file uploader powered by jQuery
#28I don't understand. Why is this any different than most jquery upload plugins? Also, I tried the demo and didn't want to use Google Gears. After I didn't allow Gears permission, the uploader stopped working. This is a problem.
File a bug. Be a good citizen.
Re: Plupload - A beautiful file uploader powered by jQuery
#29There's this: https://github.com/jurisgalang/jquery-sexypost which is a fit for a more general use-case, but it allows you to attach to upload events and roll your own progress indicator.
Re: Plupload - A beautiful file uploader powered by jQuery
#30Bit of a negative sentiment - pity. Beautiful is a rather subjective thing. It looks not too shabby and there is the core api if you want to make it look really different. The big thing to me is - it is here NOW, it seems to work in the hodge-podge of browsers I've to support, nicely falling back with decreasing browser smartness. And it uses jquery - which I happen to use as well. I've an application shipping in a f…
My point is.... Yes, ship in four weeks, but ship to modern browsers with an elegant html5-only decision
Old browsers can have a single, basic file input.
