How do I display a file c:\MYDIR\A.jpg ?

These don't work:

<img src="c:\MYDIR\A.jpg">

<img src="c:/MYDIR/A.jpg">

<img src="c:MYDIR\A.jpg">

<img src="c:MYDIR/A.jpg">

The user identifies a bunch of JPG files on their computer. My
program takes them and displays them all on one page. How?

If the webpage is in "c:\MYDIR" then just put <img src="A.jpg"... else
you have to use relative paths, remember for webpage path separators are "/"

so for:

HTMLfolder
HTMLfolder/IMGfolder

<img src="IMGfolder/A.jpg">

or for

SomeFolder/HTMLfolder
SomeFolder/IMGfolder

<img src="../IMGfolder/A.jpg">

You will have to use some kind of upload script on your page to get the
images and save them to your server. If you are thinking of putting the
images into a database, I would highly recommend you do not do so --
only store the path to the image in the db.

Once you have the images on your server, simply use the path to the
images on your server.

So come on - if you can write a program like ICQ personal Web server
you should know what to do.

Don't expect that to work in Firefox. The above is bad in so many ways...

To OP is is unclear of what you wish. Is this an HTML page on a local
system to display images also on the local system or are your trying to
display images from a local system in a web page online?

Been asking too. Not sure OP knows at all what (s)he is doing. Trying to
guess is just a waste of time.

<img src="MYDIR/A.jpg">

Assuming that the host file is in the same directory as "MYDIR".

You do not need the "C:" unless the src file is in another drive.
