FileDialog in javascript?

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Oct 14.2003

Hi everyone,

In my web application, it has one input box and one button. My requirement is when user click the button, it should open the file dialog which explores the local machine’s directory, and when user pick the directory from the file dialog, the directory location should show in the input box. eg. user select the temp folder which located in C driver, so the string c:temp should show in input box.

I know use <input type=file>, but it only pick up the file location, this is not what I wanted.

Any help will be appreciated.

Jenny

Do you mean I can use the <input type="file">, then parse the result string showed in the input box? But the problem is if I select the folder, the filedialog box won't close. Could you explain it more detail?
