body: <p>How to display local images placed on client machine in HTML webpages hosted on a webserver</p>
  
  <p>I'm having few images placed in <code>C:/Images</code> folder so path should be something <code>file:///C:/Images/1.jpg</code> for a <code>image 1.jpg</code></p>
  
  <p>I'm using the code <code>&lt;img src="file:///C:/Images/1.jpg" /&gt;</code> in sample.html</p>
  
  <p>sample.html when placed on local HDD, shows <code>1.jpg</code>, but when I put the <code>sample.html</code> file on a web server it doesn't display the image placed on my C: drive.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to show images placed on client HDD from a HTML webpage placed on a web server?</p>
  
  <p>I tried even iframe, but no luck.</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> Can I show these images using userscript or firefox addon? I'm actually implementing this thing in my screensaver firefox addon.</p>
