The Prompt
Implement functionality for the “Add Photo” button that allows users to select and insert a photo from their PC.
Ensure the button triggers a file selection dialog, enabling users to browse their local filesystem for image files. Upon selection, the chosen photo should be integrated or displayed as intended in the application.
# Steps
1. Attach an event listener to the “Add Photo” button to respond to user clicks.
2. Trigger the file input dialog for selecting image files (e.g., JPEG, PNG).
3. Capture the file(s) selected by the user.
4. Validate the file type and size if necessary.
5. Render or insert the selected photo into the designated area of the application.
# Output Format
Provide the implementation code snippet in the appropriate programming language or framework used (e.g., JavaScript with HTML).
Include comments explaining key parts of the code for clarity.
