The web page is currently hosted on localhost...I figured for sure I would be sprung with that annoying warning IE throws at you...but instead it just doesn't work...I'm not given any warning...in FireFox or IE...
I've searched high and dry in both IE and FF options and there seems nothing I can do...sadly.
It made for a really cool image upload preview before uploading feature on an old web site I built in 2000ish...thankfully that site no longer exists as the upload preview functionality would be broken...

I tried reversing the slashes in the path and everything...nothing worked...not even when put inside an anchor...I"m guessing latest browsers IE6/7 and FF2+ simply don't want you to directly access files on local machines...smart move I suppose...
Have you had success accessing files on a remote machine from localhost?
