Both. It is possible, but only if your browser allows it. > I am using $.post() It is likely that you won't be able to POST to a JPG file. You should use GET. For example, on my local web server i can POST to HTML files, but on my hosting provider i cannot - i have to use GET for HTML files. > So I could send the path that user choice C:/Users/example.JPG to my php and > return <img width="50" height="50" src="file:///C:/Users/example.JPG"/> Imagine what would happen if any JavaScript could read a local file and then POST it back to the web site.

This is not a question of jQ, but of JavaScript and the browser's security settings. i would NEVER enable my browser to allow reading of local files. i don't even think that Firefox lets you configure it to do that.
