Isn’t it better to use a technique where the file is uploaded using the hidden iframe method?
You can still preview the image but, with a bit of server side scripting, you can keep this file on form submission without having to wait for the file to be uploaded for a second time (the server side scripting also needs to fall back if the form uploads a file normally as well).
Slight issue/more of a question… no iPad or iPhone support for choosing a photo to upload through this method… My inital thought is adding an input field to the “New Hotness”, that will allow copy and paste of filename, but that won’t really solve the issue in a user friendly way (they’d have to email the photo to themselves and then go through the forwarding the email motions to get the filename access… anyone have a more elegant solution to this?
A mootools alternative that also supports FF drag and drop: http://mootools.standupweb.net/dragndrop.php
The ‘img’ tag is:
<img src="file://c:/SomeImage.png" />
Why don’t you do this: when the user chooses the picture, the picture location will be placed inside the preview ‘img’ tag (i.e.
) and if the user likes it, s/he can upload it.Hey Fiaz – Thanks for the inquiry. The plugin works, this display message is just a little confusing in Chrome. It’s a Chrome related issue. We’ll see what we can do improve this.
Thanks for chiming in! How do you like our other ZURBplayground techniques?

If I am not mistaken it was there on Zurb before also, I guess I’ve seen it.
Unfortunately it doesn’t work with Opera 10.53.
I have been looking for Ajax image up-loaders and even looked at the ZURB site, but I was more specifically looking for an upload with a resize, crop function — (there doesn’t seem to be any code around the web)
For the average Joe on the web (maybe that’s me?) it isn’t clear that the image isn’t saved when it is previewed, you see the image on the page so assume it is uploaded?
I used this on a site but in Chrome it would say “File not chosen” even though i had selected one. Has this been resolved?
