Comment(by azaozz):

 Yes, there are better ways to handle uploading (perhaps not as simple).

 Replying to [comment:11 Denis-de-Bernardy]:

 {{{
     jQuery(':text').attr('type', 'hidden');
 }}}

 Yeah, there's no point in trying to set a text field to hidden and the
 otherway round with js. There's no real difference between `type="text"
 style="display: none"` and `type="hidden"` from form functionality point
 of view except that you can show/hide the text field later with js.

 As far as I can see changing the enctype with js works since it's checked
 when the form is submitted not when the page is loading.
