Image preview issue with cgi-callout on datacapture form

I have image preview feature enabled on the datacapture template. The image shows up when I browse for an image and say ok. The code snippet as follows.

IWDatacapture.enableImagePreview(true);

The issue is with the file upload component (cgi-callout) which is called on click of the callout button placed right next to the browse button. The preivew image does not show up when I upload the image. The image upload component puts the image path back in the browse text box, but it doesn't do whats necessary to show that image on the datacapture form.

I have this snippet my cgi-callout javascript. But, it doesnt help.
...
..
calloutForm.elements.value = path;
opener.top.datacapture.refreshForm();
calloutElementFound = true;
...
..

Please let me know if I you have any idea. I am on TS65/solaris.

What size is the image ? I see the same thing with large images (1 MB) but it works for smaller (10KB) ones. Have not tried it on 6.7 yet

I checked that thread, I have specified the extns attribute. Please note that it works fine when I browse for an image.

The issue is when I upload an image using the cgi-callout component only. Image does not show up untill I click on the browser text box (which has cgi-callout) and click out side it.

Ah... You did not mention that before. Try the following, I'm not sure if it'll help though

//--- Approach I ---
// add a function to your FormAPI
function redrawForm() {
   IWDatacapture.redraw();
}

// from CGI
...
   opener.top.datacapture.refreshForm();
   api = opener.parent.getScriptFrame();
   api.redrawForm();
...

//--- Approach II ---
// from CGI without extra FormAPI function
...
   opener.top.datacapture.refreshForm();
   api = opener.parent.getScriptFrame();
   api.IWDatacapture.redraw();
...

Personally I would prefer "Approach I", your posting though looks like you may not be using FormAPI at all. In this case "Approach II" may be easier to try
