Answer 1

DEMO: - JSFIDDLE

Try this:

Here is the HTML code:-

<input type="file" id="i_file" value=""> 
<input type="button" id="i_submit" value="Submit">
    <br>
<img src="" width="200" style="display:none;" />

Here is the JS:-

$('#i_file').change( function(event) {
    $("img").fadeIn("fast").attr('src',URL.createObjectURL(event.target.files[0]));
});

Javascript

       function imgchange(f) {
           var filePath = $('#file').val();
           var reader = new FileReader();
           reader.onload = function (e) {
               $('#imgs').attr('src',e.target.result);
           };
           reader.readAsDataURL(f.files[0]);           
        }

Answer 3

All browsers may not give you the exact path. You can use blob location like this:

function imgchange(event){ $("#imgs").attr('src',URL.createObjectURL(event.target.files[0])); }

In your input you can use onchange="imgchange(event)"

Here is a working JSFiddle

Answer 4

You can't do this unless you have uploaded the file to a server you can't show it in the browser, because the file goes to a virtualpath "C:/fakepath/" and you can't point any image to it. First you have to upload the image to server then provide the server path to the image.

try this:

 <form action="#" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
                <center>
                    <table>
                        <tr>
                                <td colspan="2"><center><img id="imgs" width="170px" height="160px" ></img></center></td>
                        </tr>
                        <tr>
                            <td align="right"><b><label for="file">Filename:</label></b></td><td><input type="file" name="file" id="file" onchange="imgchange(event)"></td>
                        </tr>                               
                    </table>    
                </center>
            <div class="buttons_save">
                <button class="buttons_profile3" id="btnSubmit" >SAVE</button>
            </div>
        </form>

<script type="text/javascript">
  function imgchange(e)
   {
        $("#imgs").attr('src',URL.createObjectURL(e.target.files[0]));
  }
</script>

Very simple code to display image on browser

    $("#imgs").attr('src',URL.createObjectURL(event.target.files[0]));
}
