That's a security feature .. it isn't possible in any browser on any platform.

Must be a Safari 4 issue. Seems to work fine on Safari 3.2.1 and Firefox 3.0.10. I use similar thing and it works:

<img id="img1" src=

I think if you are running localhost:3000, then the above answers are correct with the security. Try using relative path without the file://

Was that page hosted? or did you access via the file:// protocol?

eduffy - you are right about the hosted part. I was in the middle of editing my response. I think Michal will have to use relative paths to view that image - and not use the file:// to refer to that image.
