You can't. It's a browser security issue.

Option 1: Add some JS browser side to validate the form. (Keep the 
server side validation!) That will minimize (but not eliminate) the form 
refresh issue.

Option 2: Create an AJAX widget for the form upload and hold it 
temporarily in stasis on the server until the full form form is submitted.
