I am writing custom forms in javascript.

I do not have access to visual studio. I need to be able to upload a file into a document library with meta data.

I've been playing around with the Copy.asmx and the CopyToItems method, but I keep getting a 400 bad request error.

any help would be appreciated...

Kris

Can i get the source code for this. Looking out for this since a month. –  user7151 Feb 29 '12 at 5:54
    
i can give you some sample code on how to do this using Client Object Model if you want ? –  Sebastien Stettler Feb 29 '12 at 7:42
    
@SebastienStettler Sure, I would love some code to do this with the COM. –  Kristopher Blair Feb 29 '12 at 13:25
    
@Jeetu Unfortunately, I'm not able to share code as I'm doing this for my company. But, I will say that it comes out looking very hackish by just using the Upload.aspx page. I now have the go ahead to use Visual Studio and C#, so I can write my own uploader. Keep on the look out for Sebastien's COM code solution. That may be a much better solution than using the OOTB Upload.aspx page. –  Kristopher Blair Feb 29 '12 at 13:29
    
cool will add a answer as soon as i can free up some time. is it possible for me to drop the C# COM code and then you port it to JS ? only the syntax should change the methods etc will stay the same –  Sebastien Stettler Feb 29 '12 at 14:02

You can't use only JavaScript to do this.

The CopyIntoItems method takes a byte[] stream parameter. This means you need to be able to read a file into a byte array and then pass this to the method. This first step isn't possible in JavaScript.

I've settled on a solution which involves IFRAMES and JQuery. This allows me to use SP's Upload.aspx page directly. I have used javascript in order to feed it the correct list ID. thanks for your help –  Kristopher Blair Dec 15 '11 at 19:50
    
Ah very cool! The Upload.aspx was the missing piece. :) –  Kit Menke♦ Dec 16 '11 at 14:37
    
@KristopherBlair care to share the solution you used? –  topcat3 May 14 '13 at 16:45
    
Would anyone mind actually answering the question here so that other people can use your solution? –  Robert Kaucher Jul 17 '13 at 14:56
