I''m using the iframe trick to upload files with form_tag and a target pointing to the iframe. All is working, but I would like to display an indicator of the upload.

How do I achieve a similar effect with form_tag?

I

However, the default behavior of acts_as_versioned appears to apply to individual rows within a table. The tables I want to version are complicated lookup tables and what I really want is to version the entire contents of each table as a single set. Adding a row, deleting a row, or updating
