You might consider doing it all on the client...
<html>
<head>
<title>test</title>
<script>
function preview() {
lyrPreview.innerHTML = "";
lyrPreview.innerHTML += "Some message text...<br>";
lyrPreview.innerHTML += "<img src=\"file://" + theForm.theFile.value + "\">";
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
Select file, then click button to preview:<br>
<form name="theForm">
<input type="file" name="theFile">
<input type="button" onClick="preview();" value="Preview message">
</form>
<br><br>
<u>Preview:</u><br><br>
<span id="lyrPreview"></span>
</body>
</html>
Works on IE, can't say whether it does on anything else. Of course, this will
only work if you have enough information to construct the complete preview on
the client at that point, but you could alternatively submit the form, then in
the reply construct the file:// reference to the image as I've done above.
That would probably give you the best of both worlds, and also remove any
cross-browser concerns. But, if you can do it without touching the server, so
much the better I figure.
