There are several techniques for this.

One is to utilize an iFrame for the upload. Check this out: http://www.ajaxf1.com/tutorial/ajax-file-upload-tutorial.html

Using Iframe for this is one of the best method and keep track of the reponse in Iframe for image uploaded and as soon as you get desired response. Show the image uploaded message.
