Technically, you can't. JavaScript cannot access local files on the filesystem as a security measure. You can, however, use a method that utilizes Flash or an IFRAME element to approximate an "Ajax file upload". There are dozens if not hundreds of good tutorials, examples and frameworks online for this. Please do a basic Google search.

This can be done with Firefox 3.6+
