What do you mean, "browse to a folder?" What would the user see when he got there?
When I use <input type=file> it allows the user to browse their hard
drive and return a path to the selected filename. I want to allow the
user to select a folder rather than file and return only the folder
path.
<input type=file> doesn't just return the path, it returns the entire file.
Thanks John, but it actually returns both.
c:\blather\blah\bleep.txt
path = c:\blather\blah
file = bleep.txt.
<input type=file> will return path + file. Now that we have that
straightened out. I want something that returns ONLY path. And the
dialog box only allows the user to select a folder, not file.
I am using this so I can ask a user what folder has the files I want
to do things to.
