Answer 1

I've just spent 2 hours battling with jQuery Upload but gave up because of the amount of dependencies (I had 13 JS files included to get all the bells and whistles).

I did a bit more searching and came across a neat project called Dropzone.js, which does not have any dependencies.

The author has also created a bootstrap demo which was inspired by the jQuery File Upload plugin.

I hope this saves someone else some time.
