i have seen several SOM examples online for programmatically creating a document set, but I would need to accomplish this with javascript/jquery if possible. Is this possible, and if so how is it done (reference)?

Thanks very much for any assistance

I don't think you can do that directly.
What you can do is to use the /_layouts/Upload.aspx page and use an ajax file uploader.

What I would do:

  1. Use an third part ajax file uploaded such as valums / file-uploader.

  2. Find the ID of your library (list). 

    var title = 'D';
var ctx = new SP.ClientContext();
var list = ctx.get_web().get_lists().getByTitle(title);
ctx.load(list);
ctx.executeQueryAsync(function() {
  var id = list.get_id().toString();
  // Use id here
});

  3. Use the found ID to tell where to post your files, something like

    /_layouts/Upload.aspx?List={XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX}

And take it from there, if you open that url and include &IsDlg=1 it should be possible to see how it accepts data.
