control to select a folder in a web page

[strutsng]

I want a web page that allows the user to select a folder as input, not
files. If I use <input type="file">, I couldn't select a folder as
input, I can only select a single file as input. In my case, are there
any solutions to my problem? Should I use VB component? But this only
restrict me to create the web page using ASP, but not non-microsoft
technology?

please advise... thanks!!

The only thing you could do is create a CLIENT-SIDE component and hope your
visitors install it. There is nothing that you can do server-side that will
change the behavior of Web browsers and the standard that dictates that an
<input type="file"> is to allow for the selection of one file.
