html_code_clinic thread: File selector: how can I select a folder rather than a file
Hi there,
In most cases, you can't. The browser will not let you select a folder.
Whenever you select a folder and choose "Open" it will open the selected
folder instead of adding its name to the input box.
You might be able to do this with some advanced VBScript and the
FileSystemObject, but this will only work in IE and only when the
browser's security settings are set to low (your site must be in
the "Trusted sites" list of the browser.
So this option is only viable in an Intranet scenario.
In all other cases, you'll have to let the user select multiple files and
add these to your form.
Hope this helps,
