s/onUpload/on_upload/.

In terms of server/client behaviour depends on what you want. The server
could either send back the box already expanded or send a collapsed box
+ javascript to unroll it.

Or you could pass config options to the javascript Documents class on
new(), and trigger the unroll after the AJAX call.
