That's correct as far as I know... Ajax would require javascript had access to the data stream of the file you are trying to upload... and that would be a security issue for browsers (or was it because the multipart/form-data encoding? Don't kill me if I'm totally wrong). All in all, the only way to do a file upload I know of is with an iframe or with a SWF technique (which provides a bit more control on the progress of the upload). But any of those techniques will be transaparent to the end user if implemented well (meaning they will not know you are actually using an iframe or a SWF).
