How to preview selected image in input type="file" in popup using jQuery? [duplicate]

In my code, I am allowing the user to upload an image. Now I want to show this selected image as a preview in this same popup. How can I do it using jQuery?

The following is the input type I am using in my popup window.

HTML code:

<input type="file" name="uploadNewImage">

Demo

HTML:

 <form id="form1" runat="server">
   <input type='file' id="imgInp" />
   <img id="blah" src="#" alt="your image" />
</form>

jQuery

function readURL(input) {
    if (input.files && input.files[0]) {
        var reader = new FileReader();

        reader.onload = function (e) {
            $('#blah').attr('src', e.target.result);
        }

        reader.readAsDataURL(input.files[0]);
    }
}

$("#imgInp").change(function(){
    readURL(this);
});

Reference


If your are using HTML5 then try following code snippet

<img id="uploadPreview" style="width: 100px; height: 100px;" />
<input id="uploadImage" type="file" name="myPhoto" onchange="PreviewImage();" />
<script type="text/javascript">

    function PreviewImage() {
        var oFReader = new FileReader();
        oFReader.readAsDataURL(document.getElementById("uploadImage").files[0]);

        oFReader.onload = function (oFREvent) {
            document.getElementById("uploadPreview").src = oFREvent.target.result;
        };
    };

</script>
