Why not just use Iframes for those forms?
For one thing, iframes are just kind of annoying. If you want to access your JavaScript framework, you have to program in the scope of window.parent. Hopefully, the browser is caching your stylesheets and javascripts, but I’ve sometimes seen otherwise watching apache logs, so I don’t believe the iframe solution is always efficient. More importantly, though, using the classic form post technique and then rewriting output from the server to the iframe’s window is just not how I want to process forms in our application. I prefer to use Prototype’s Form.serialize and then Ajax.Request to deal with form transactions. Our application doesn’t have page refreshes overall, so introducing them into little iframes if and only when a form needed a file input just feels so cowardly. And, all that *really* needs to post is the file input data. So suddenly, the brain dinger started going off.
