I found your page helpful as well. Wish I had found it sooner! From a fellow sysadmin who spent a week trying to get his form variables to the upload script:

‘data’: {field_id:$(‘field_id’).value},

I'll send you an email while it's done. If you'd like to add the part above on how to debug it using PHP since the ajax may make that a little non-intuitive for most coders, feel free. Don't worry on the new media douchebag thing -- I'm a sysadmin by trade right now, and being told by a sysadmin that you're a douchebag is kind of like being told by a right-wing evangelical christian that you're going to hell. You're out in douchebaglandia with some pretty cool people that have done some awesome things. But to the curmudgeonly sysadmin in me, which needs to deploy your project and is then held responsible for it's uptime, you're all a pain in the ass.

Sorry for your 8 hours, I hope that you got your deadline. Sorry also for the long comment, I somehow feel like I need to defend myself. A quote from the presentation about Web Craftsmanship, linked on my lame about page: "Craftsmen Are Life Learners". I share my scripts under an unrestricted open-source license, add showcases, changelogs, support via comments and mail. If I don't write full tutorials for installation and tuning, I did simply not find the time. I also think that people benefit from installing scripts on their own and reading my code. I don't have any drop-in-and-forget script because I simply don't like them. I see scripts more as tools in a developers toolbox. If people don't want to invest time and want a working & customized, they simply hire me. Always keep in mind that you use this scripts for free, usually without adding a notice or telling the client. It should save time and money. I'm spending my free time between contract work (sometimes I do real work ;) ) on updates and answer im-messages and e-mails. Finally: Can I add your tutorial under CC-Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike to the project page?
