Hi

Can anybody help please?

Thanks.

When the user clicks on the link 'Choose image file', it opens a dialog box and chooses an image file. Then i want to display that image.

Thanks.

I'm sorry. I downloaded your HTML file but accidentally opened another file I had downloaded before. I can only blame that I'm confused by my new OS.

Firstly, I think you need to use input type file. Secondly, it won't work anyway. Because of security reasons browsers will only return the file name without path. I think you need to go over the server somehow, actually upload the image. Maybe Ajax.

Christian can probably give you a better answer.
