I did some investigating to find the cause of uploads failings.
It seems like it a platform issue (somehow), coz if I load
the exact same alfresco.war on a windows box it works.
I otherwise deploy on FreeBSD.
Here's an exact copy of the problem..

First the windows version:

….
}
clear_add_2Dcontent_2Dupload_2Dstart();
//–></script></form>
…

And then the FreeBSD:

….
}
clear_add_2Dcontent_2Dupload_2Dstart();
//–></script>
….

As you might see - the </form> (end form) element is missing
for some reason…

FYI I found the error and with a tad of hesitation I have to say its NOT an alfresco error.. The alfresco tomcat was setup behind an apache2 server with mod-rewrite which did some strange things to the html generated by alfresco.. So if you ever run into this problem.. check if you are using mod-rewrite..

well - i'll just shutup then 😉
