I have an image uploader that uses the imgur.com API and jQuery's .ajax() function to upload images to their servers. However, if I browse for an image using the <input type="file"/> element of the form, it will only be successful in uploading an image if the image file is found in the same directory as the page.php file that the form is found in (shown below). How can I allow the form to upload images from any directory on my computer?

page.php:

<form action="page.php" method="post">
    <input type="file" name="doc" id="doc" /><br/>
    <input type="image" src="go.gif" name="submit" id="submit" />
</form>
