You don't say which browser you're having trouble with, but the <button> 
element has a "type" attribute; try adding type="button" and see if that 
helps. Also, you might want to add "return false;" to cancel any default 
action (shouldn't matter with type="button" though), and it's usually 
recommended to set "window.location.href" - well, recommended by purists 
like me :-)

<button type="button" onclick="window.location.href='up.php'; return 
false;">Upload</button>

HTH,

Nick.
