Hi
Was possible. At least in old Mozilla. ( No FireFox yet that time... )
Now the [tt]input type="file"[/tt] behavior was modified for security reasons, so the script will not receive the full path when asks for its [tt]value[/tt]. So you can not know where the file is on the local file system.

Hi
A short and simple example of how you can upload the image for preview.
Warning : handling file uploads requires extra precautions not implemented here.

You can send a file to the server only through a [tt]form[/tt]. I see no actual need for AJAX here.arog123 said:

<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function setsubmit()
