How can I upload images from a basic client?

[Ron Brennan]

Good morning.

I would like to allow a user to browse his local directories, choose an
image (probably .jpeg) file, and upload it to the server (a servlet). The
same functionality that online datiing agencies use to let people save their
photograph with their profiles. (My application is an online Want Ads.)

I feel that this must be possible within a minimal client (without a JVM)
using nothing more than JavaScript, but I'll be damned if I can find how.

Would one of you more experienced JavaScript people please point me in the
right direction.

Thank you,
Ron.

No Javascript is necessary btw.

Much appreciated; thank you Murry.

I don't believe this is so much of a JavaScript matter (depending on
requirements). Use the HTML form element, <input type="file">, and
post the form. How it is dealt with at the server varies by language.
I know it is relatively easy in PHP, and very difficult in ASP.

Yes, that was the method described and expanded on at the link Murry
provided. It also provides a Browse button, which I also need. Thanks.
