Now widget <input type=file> exist for attaching a file to a form. But there are special case, when attaching file is graphic file! And we want to see picture in current document BEFORE sending form. This special case maybe in CMS-engine for management of site, or maybe in engine of internet-shop (user create new goods and upload picture of goods to server - he want to see, that he does not make mistake in choice of graphic file), and so on. Idea: 1. Browser should display content of graphic file instead of path and name of file. 2. Should be there two image in browser window - button (as in case of <input type=file>) and octogon ? No. Two image looks badly. Only one image - octogon - should be displayed. 3. We should can differ uploading file from html-element <img src= >. How we can distinguish ? Let browser show uploading picture without corner - so picture is not rectangle, but it is octagon (cut corner must be small). 4. How we can use octogon for control ? Let browser open explorer of file system at pressing on octogon. But how octogon must be displayed before first pressing ? Let octogon is white figure with black border (we can change color of figure, color of border, width of border in CSS-file). 5. What is html-element for this ? It should be <input type=file> or other ? I think, functionality of new widget differs from <input type=file> enough to enter new html-tag. Let it will be <input type=pic>.
