<img src="<%="file://"+myForm.getPathToImageUserSelected()$>">
Something like that. The basic idea is that the JSP you send back as a result of the form submission is displaying the image from the user's PC, not your server. You just need to append the file:// part of the image's URI at some point.

Hi Frank, Thanks for the reply. Your solution works good if I have to show preview in the same page but I what if I need to show preview in the next JSP? How do I carry the values/images?

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.

Hi, I have a form where the user is given the option to select a file to upload(normally gif or jpg) before the user submits the file to the
server,
I wanted to show him a preview of his message and image.
How do I do that? Where do I store the image temporarly?
Any solutions?
