[Javascript] xp sp2 ie help

[Roger Roelofs]

Hi list,

I have a site where users need to upload photos.  Many of the users are 
not comfortable with their computers.  In order to make their lives 
easier, I implemented a 'view' button so they could view their photos 
before uploading them.

This feature works by extracting the path to the image file from the 
file upload control and using it to create a file:// url which is 
passed to an open window javascript call.  Users had to make us a 
'trusted site' in ie6, but it was a useful enough feature that many of 
our users did so.

After installing service pack 2, this feature no longer works (except 
in AOL).

Is there a workaround (besides recommending AOL ;-) ) ?

Thanks!

Roger
