TinyMCE and inline ajax image upload with codeigniter.. bit of code

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
This was something for a personal project so I've not spent a lot of time developing it or cleaning it up, and I've not tried for compatibility with older browsers but I wanted to have an asynchronous image upload using an element inline with my editor page rather than a popup window which most plug-ins I've seen seem to use.. so really just sharing what I did with TinyMCE, jquery and codeigniter in case someone comes here on a search and finds it useful or wants to develop it further..

there's quite a lot of writing so best I just point you at.. this post
