Just did this yesterday.
<script type="text/javascript">
function showImage(img) {
var imgObj = document.images['header'];
imgObj.src = 'file:///' + img;
}
</script>
<input type="File" name="header_image" id="header_image" size="45"
onchange="showImage(this.value)">
<img src="bg_head.gif" name="header" id="header">
However this doesn't work completetly in NS4 or at all in Mozilla
because I was being lazy and the site was IE only anyway. NS4 because
it doesn't support changing an image _size_ via JS (src it will
change), you would have to use doc.write to write the img tag to a
span/div/ilayer/layer in NS4. It should work in Mozilla, but it wasn't
for me yesterday...because Mozilla has more bugs than MX even lol.
Specifically though, the onchange event wasn't firing in Moz.
