Uploading images via http post

Previewer?

[Birdman]

Is there any way to preview images while selecting them to upload using the form upload method. Or do I need to stress the point of naming images descriptively to clients so they don't upload the wrong photos.

I would like to be able to load them straight from floppy, where they would be named mvc001, etc...

It would be great if I could have the small preview box, like when opening files from an image program.

Thanks for any advice.

Not that I know of. Of course you can always dictate the name of the file once it's uploaded to the server but your server side code can't do anything until the file has been uploaded. You could probably write (or purchase / download) a Java or Active X component to provide some sort of localized image preview, or (assuming that they're using windows > 98) instruct them the chose the thumbnail view from their file open dialog.

If you can work with script languages or happen to know a real programming language like Delphi or VB, then yes, you can write a module that allows a preview.

Thanks for the replies. RZaakir, I'm using win98. I can't find that option(thumbnail view). Could you tell me where I can?
