I am trying to figure out a way to streamline the image uploading in my sharepoint 2007 application. I want to be able to upload images to a document library from a custom .aspx page in sharepoint without installing new web parts (which I cannot do).
Asynchonous upload is preferable, but I don't know how to do this while still adding the metadata that I want. I am in an environment that is using IE 8 with sharepoint.
I am aware of the Imaging.asmx web service, but have not figured out how to get the base64 encoded bytes of the file with javascript (heard this wasn't possible without HTML5). I can use Flash or Silverlight 4, but not quite sure how to configure those if I can't install my own httphandler or any server side code.
Any ideas on something that works? Is there a way to seamlessly integrate with Sharepoint's current uploader? How does the current one work?
