Doc library upload button -
I have a page and want to include a link ( or button) to upload a document to a particular library.
I could use https://.../sitename/doclibname/_layouts/15/upload.aspx?ListID={GUID HERE} - that technique will allow you to upload the document, set its metadata (column values) - but then brings up the document in the brower (or launches a client application).
Even if you add '?Source=<whatever> " it doesn't work.
See http://intapoint.com/2013/05/add-an-add-document-link-to-a-page-in-sharepoint-2010/
That solution doesn't work evidently on 2013.
How do I add a simple upload button to a screen to upload to a particular library (root folder can be the top level).
I stubble with Javascript so the more complete you can make the answer the better.

I'm not sure - I get 'something went wrong' and that's all when I put in that solution.
also there is another strange behavior.
When I put that solution and then save the page with the link -
the link actually resolves to https://.../sitename/sitepages; and then the real link I want from the script.
I'm not sure why it is pulling in as a prefix the document library name which stores the page.
