I have just found a way to submit a form from within a modal window - place the
form within an IFRAME in the modal window!
When the form is submitted you can call parent.sendAndClose() (the modla window
is the parent of the IFRAME) passing one of the field values as a parameter to
be sent back to the calling form.
I have a main form with amongst other things, an "upload image" button.
Clicking on this opens the modal window with an IFRAME containing an HTML File
Upload object. User selects a file, form is submitted and the location of the
newly uploaded form is passed back to the calling form which immediately
displays it in a DIV with contenteditable = true. The user can then click on
the image and resize it.

Thanks for the pointers!
