oops, I see what you said now, about the session and if they open a new browser window, did not read that line careful enough... I can fix that by not allowing another upload to start until the first is done.
There will only be a few people that are allowed access to this, so I don't think they will need to use it to often. They are just uploading videos for product reviews, more then often they will be no more than 10MB, and he is on a super fast high speed connection so the upload should be fast enough for him to finish it before needing another.
Using the code I changed it to, if I can get it to work, I can see if the _uploadStatus_ in the session exists if so, not build another form, and tell them to please wait until the other upload is completed, and then keep auto-refreshing that form with ajax until it is done so then it will rebuild the form so they can upload another.

still need answered my other questions though, please, as I still cannot figure out hook, the values passed to it(or jus, received (why not passed, or where passed from?)) and what executes it.
