Dynamic file list

[pippo]

Hi,
this is my first post on Javascript board and I admit that I never used javascript.

I will have a form done in php.
I will use the form to upload a file in xml format and to upload a dynamic list of images.
Basically the xml file will contain the article and I need with that form to upload the images of that article to the server.

What I'm asking is a way to build a dynamic list of image,
so when I will click on submit button I will receive the xml article and all the images.
I "don't" want to upload each image separately.

I thought that can be done "client side" so using javascript.
Is there a way to obtain that using javascript or whatever ?!?

I hope I was clear.

Thank you for your time!

It isn't that clear, esp. this part:

psst! I'm also not very good at JavaScript

It's something like with hotmail,
where you can add/edit the attachments.
What I want to do is to create a list of images that must me uploaded to the server when I will click the submit button.

Example of the form:
Article File [ file_name.xml ] [ BROWSE ]
Published date [ 2002-11-12 ]
Images [ image1.jpg ] [ BROWSE ]
[ image2.jpg ] [ BROWSE ]
[ image3.jpg ] [ BROWSE ]

[ SUBMIT ] [ RESET ]

That was my old way,
the problem is that some articles could have up to 11 images,
so I didn't want to create 11 browse fields.

What I want is something like:

Article File [ file_name.xml ] [ BROWSE ]
Published date [ 2002-11-12 ]
Images [ image1.jpg ] [ ADD IMAGE ] [ DELETE IMAGE ]
[ image2.jpg ]
[ image3.jpg ]

[ SUBMIT ] [ RESET ]

So the [ ADD IMAGE ] button will be used to create the list of images I want to upload.
While the [ DELETE IMAGE ] button will be used to delete the list of the images I want to upload ( it will not delete the image on the server ).

While I'm writing these notes,
I think that maybe an ftp upload is the better way.
I see that it could be interesting to delete some images from the server too.

Suggestions are welcomed!
