Yeah, there is a hidden div the has the <embed> tag. Don't think you can achieve that type of functionality with out flash.
"googling-about", I like that :)

That's close (no visible way to clear the full list of uploaded items
for a re-select), though I haven't tried that page in various browsers,
nor tried to see what it takes to use it. Are there docs, what's the
release status, how well has it been tested, in which browsers, etc?
Also, I never came across this one in my googling-about.
In general, it looks like it's a work in progress, whereas the moo
solution is documented, tested, etc.
?
Is Flash involved? I didn't see any sign of it. If not, how's that
multi-select dialog work?
