Until just a few days ago, my site was perfect. I mean, no errors, no complaints, nothing was broken, everything worked, all pages validated, and I was actually able to relax and say "aaaah. it's done!" and start making plans for the next set of features.
Then I upgraded Adobe Flash. Because I was prompted to. As I'm sure many people were. And did.
Now, the fancy uploader that lets my users upload photos is broken in Internet Explorer (please... no microsoft jokes) - the page has a new javascript error that wasn't there before, and I'm having problems with a clickable zone overlapping things it didn't overlap before.
Grrrr!
I was - and still am - using this fantastic utility by Harald Kirschner:

Well I know I could downgrade and go back to the <input type="file"/> that has been around since the dark ages. The reason I liked the Flash-based uploader was that it had great extra features, file type filters in the "open" dialog, and I could actually display a progress bar showing speed and % completion. Yer plain vanilla HTML form can't do all that.
So I'm curious, is there something better out there?
I need:
1) stability. I don't want to be fixing this thing every year
2) awesomeness. I do like the progress metrics, and the file type filter options in the "open" dialog
3) ubiquity. I want something that will work on all browsers, everywhere.
Any suggestions?
