I have a file upload field that accepts multiple images. I need to preview these images before uploading them. Also can I set limit for maximum number of images to be uploaded?

var files = event.target.files; //FileList object
var output = document.getElementById(“result”);
for(var i = 0; i< files.length; i++)
{
var file = files[i];
//Only pics
if(!file.type.match(‘image’))
continue;
var picReader = new FileReader();
picReader.addEventListener(“load”,function(event){
var picFile = event.target;
var div = document.createElement(“div”);
div.innerHTML = “<img class=’thumbnail’ src=’” + picFile.result + “‘” +
“title=’” + picFile.name + “‘/>”;
