What is "the folder"? Something on the client or on the server? JavaScript has no access to the client-side filesystem.

There is no HTML folder input. You onlyhave the file input.

If you want to do this, you need to look into an Applet, Flash, Etc.

Folder is in server. One option is to write servlet but due to some constraints need to do it with Java Script only.

If the folder is on your server, JavaScript still can not do it. Your serverside code would have to display the values.

I hope that you do not confuse JavaScript (JS) with JavaServer Pages (JSP). Otherwise I really don't see any reason why you think that it should be possible with JavaScript.
