Yeah...would be nice if someone took something like that and converted it to a plugin. Mario? YOu up for it? :)

Hi Wow. Looks great. ASAP I will study this I saw that fileExtension is caseSensitive so probably should have fileExtension == "JPG" fileExtension == "jpg" fileExtension == "Jpg" to avoid trouble. thanks a lot Andy for share this Regards Mario 2007/8/17, Joan Piedra < <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Hello Andy, It looks interesting, I've tried this before but I had some difficulties with Firefox, at last I could do it with IE6, IE7, and Firefox. But Safari and Opera mask the whole url in the input file. So this won't work in those browsers.

Hey Mario, I had the same idea some time ago, but after trying some workarounds and reading a lot of browser docs I noticed this was an horrible and really bad practice in web development. So we actually can't make an "image preview" before sending data to the server. We will have to stick to the simple way, upload then preview.

Is it possible? or is a security lock from browsers? I am using $.post() So I could send the path that user choice C:/Users/example.JPG to my php and return <img width="50" height="50" src="file:///C:/Users/example.JPG"/> But isnt working because browsers cant show this tag <img width="50" height="50" src="file:///C:/Users/example.JPG"/> I can upload the file to webserver I know but will be more fast and I can save some bandwidth traffic if I could do this. And avoid malicious users consume my bandwidth traffic. So I am trying use AJAX to simulate Upload Ajax? and when forms is already send images normaly (without ajax). So Jquery can show Images from file:///C:? or something like this?
