Document Submittal heading in the wrong direction

Hello All,

I have been trying to work on a develop a sharepoint team site on my company's intranet. This site is just for my small department. I have made several document libraries to contain the different types of documents that we need to upload and keep track of. (i.e. I have a document library for service contracts and I have a seperate document library for technical drawings.) I have been learning to develop client side scripting solutions for this site as I do not currently have access to the server to do server side scripting.

I am currently working on an aspx page that I want to use to upload documents to the site. This seems like it should be a very common need. I want to have the user pick the type of document and then fill in the related metadata fields and then have a button that uploads the document with the metadata to the correct document library. My form works well, but after collecting the information I am getting stumped on what to do with it. I feel like I am heading in the wrong direction. This seems like it should be a simple common desire. To be able to upload documents to multiple libraries from a central location. Am I missing an Out of the box solution that would work, or does anyone have any suggestions for me.

Hi,                                                             

From your description, you want to upload documents to different libraries via one page.

This is a solution using InfoPath to upload documents to document library dynamically:

As you may not work from server side, here are some solution using Javascript for your reference:
