how eBay displays image previews -- assistance in re-creating

EBay has implemented a different way to upload auction pictures ---
after browsing for the picture and selecting it, the image preview
instantly displays on the screen, which is nice. Apparently this
process is being handled locally --- could someone try to re-create
this ? ... I imagine its using DHTML or some other technique, I'm not
sure how I would code this. Thanks a lot!

Sincerely,

Julia
