[RESOLVED] Upload list of files from client directory
Anyone have a link or search term for a way to allow the user to upload a list of file names to a web form? I do not need the actual files, just the file names — name only or full path, doesn’t matter. I can live with either just pointing to a directory and grabbing every file name in it, or requiring the user to select all the desired files from within a directory list.
(My guess is that the JavaScript sandbox for a web form won’t allow this, but I figured I’d check with you experts before looking into other possibilities, e.g. Java applet, etc.)
I’m already using the JQuery library for some other stuff, in case there’s something I should be looking for there or one of its plug-ins.
Thanks.

@NogDogSep 10.2010 — #the newest browsers allow muiltiple files to be selected via the dialog that pops-up using <input type="file">.
you can simply CTRL+A and press enter to grab all the files in a folder when the dialog comes up.
the files will then be listed in the input's .files property.
you should only expect the filename, not the full path.[/QUOTE]
