      Host the image, or upload the image to the server.

          JavaScript can't access the local file system, so the answer is no.

          If you want to access for yourself by changing your own settings, then this may be possible, but not for all users via JavaScript.

          The only way to show a preview is to do a temporary upload and show the image from the server.
