how to get an image from a file input html code example
Example 1: input type="file" and display image
<p><input type="file" accept="image/*" name="image" id="file" onchange="loadFile(event)" style="display: none;"></p>
<p><label for="file" style="cursor: pointer;">Upload Image</label></p>
<p><img id="output" width="200" /></p>
<script>
var loadFile = function(event) {
var image = document.getElementById('output');
image.src = URL.createObjectURL(event.target.files[0]);
};
</script>
Example 2: using input file as html image source
$('document').ready(function () {
$("#imgload").change(function () {
if (this.files && this.files[0]) {
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.onload = function (e) {
$('#imgshow').attr('src', e.target.result);
}
reader.readAsDataURL(this.files[0]);
}
});
});

<input type="file" id="imgload" >
<img src="#" id="imgshow" align="left">
