Can not get function to fire

[lawrence]

I'm trying to modify a script to work on my site, but I can figure out
how to call it. I've two lines of PHP printing out this bit of a form:

echo "<input type=\"file\" name=\"uploaded File\">";
echo "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"uploadTy pe\" value=\"image\"
onchange=\"DoPr eview();\">";


This function is listed above the form. is onchange() the correct
trigger?





<script language="javas cript">
function DoPreview()
{
var filename = document.forms[0].inputId1.value ;
var Img = new Image();
if (navigator.appN ame == "Netscape")
{
alert("Previews do not work in Netscape.");
}
else
{
Img.src = filename;
ppImg = Img.src;
alert("You're loading image" + ppImg);
document.images[0].src = Img.src;
}
}
</script>

Hidden inputs do not have an onChange event, since the user can't change the
value manually.
In whatever code triggers the population of this form field, also call the
DoPreview() function.
