Browse folder/directory only and not files

[rahulJ james]

Is it possible to browse a directory rather than files in java script. I saw similar quesitons in this forum but I do not see a complete solution to this.
Can someone advise.

Or if there is an alternate way to accomplish this functionality

You can't browse anything in JavaScript. If you are really asking about the file input control, then sure, you can browse folders to your heart's content. but you can only select a file.

PLUS modern day browsers do not send up the paths to the files/folders to the server so it is useless.

You can't with Javascript, but you could write your own applet and make your own "directory" browser.

Assuming that the applet is signed and that the user gives permission.

Of course; that's implied
