I've got an interesting problem, and I'm not sure what the probem is. I've got a web app that works by displaying an image file in an <img> tag, and I need to be able to open an image file that's local to the user's machine.
However, due to security restrictions (especially on newer browers), you're not generally allowed to display a local image file in an <img> tag. The only way I can seem to do it is to upload the file to the server and then set the src attribute of the <img> tag to display the uploaded file. This is highly cumbersome, time consuming, and since these are medical images, may violate HIPPA restrictions.
Any thoughts on how I can get around this? I'm stumped...
