Need some help on opening a folder dialog box

Hi all,

I need to popup a folder dialog box on an aspx web page. The
functionality needed is to select a folder name and assign it to one
of the form variables in the web page.

I used activex object of "shell.application" and then used the
browseforfolder method in the javascript code on a button click.

The issue in this method is since the "shell.application" is not a
signed activex, it depends a lot on the security settings of the
browser in the user's machine to work..

Is there a better way of popping up a folder dialog box over the web ?
Please advise..

Thanks in Advance,
Sankar R
