Hi,

i would like to display images on my website that are stored on a visitors local filesystem.

Assuming I have the location of the image on the visitors drive (e.g. c:\Documents And Settings\Ropstah\image.png), is it then possible for me to display this image in my internet website (e.g. www.website.com)?

The images won't seem to load when i use the following syntax (Internet Explorer 7, Firefox 3 etc..):

<img src="file://c:\Documents and Settings\Ropstah\image.png" />

The images DO display if the .html file (which i use on website.com/index.html) is located on my local pc...
