Subject: Re: Best way of storing attachements/images

I'm not sure if Iunderstood you correctly... anyway if what's you're
trying to achieve is to upload images *without* clearing/resetting the
form via page reload, try using ajax to add images to the form (see
e.g. http://api.rubyonrails.com/classes/ActionView/Helpers/PrototypeHelper.html),
and "normal way" to select one of them afterwards.

Maybe you'd ask directly on rails list
(http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails) - they'll
probably know better.
