Ok here is the problem that I have. I have a news submission form that I want to be able to allow people to upload images to the server through this form. Sounds like a no sinch answer right? Well here is where it gets tricky for me. How do I get my form to display the image before it is actually submitted to the db? Right now I am stumped. Ive tried submitting the results back to the form via a Request.form, but to no avail. I have it right now so that if a user were to want to submit an image for their post, they would just click a button, a popup window would come up and they could select the image off of their hdd. Now, I am using pureasp upload to upload the image to the server. When the form is done, it then goes to a thank you page that when you close the window it refreshes the parent page that opened the popup window. But when it is submitted back to that page (the parent page that is) it acts like it is not submitting the form info or anything to that page. Is my problem clear as mud or am I at a loss here? Any help on this would be wonderful.

Thanks for the help,

Hi Tim,

I have successfully used Tom Steeper's sample "Preview File Before Uploading" example with PureASP Upload 2.07 and 2.08 to allow users to preview files before uploading. They work like a charm together, and it is really easy to implement. Here's the URL for Tom's sample files:
