Uploading Image using HTMLarea and CGI script

I am developing an html newsletter app using HTMLarea 3.0

One of the standard features is an "insert image" function. This is a pop-up window that lists files in a given directory.

I have converted this to a cgi script and have it working for selecting and inserting images already uploaded to the server.

My next challenge is to incorporate image upload functionality. Ideally this should be included within the popup.

I have the popup page working and within the page there is a form for picking a file off the hard drive.

Is it possible to run the script within the popup window and redirect back to the popup page ? Currently when the script runs it opens a new window, so I end up with the old popup (with no toolbars, etc) in the background without the new file listed, and a new window, which is a duplicate of the popup but with the new file listed - this new window has all the toolbars etc featured.

If this does not make sense then I can provide a link so you can see "first hand" what I mean

Thanks in advance.

OK - had a rethink - no great loss possible if someone signs in to "back end" of what I am working on . . .

Just thought I'd qualify that the name of the club is not real - it is merely a name that a group of friends thought up one night in a pub ! :)
