Browsing for a file on Web

I have a form that works very well for me for getting a file from a drive:

<form name=form1>
<input type=file name="fileN" size="75" >
<br>
<input type=button onClick="setFile()" value="Load Selected File">
<font size="3"><strong>Choose/Browse for sutiable Chime file
above</strong></font>
</form>

I can also paste a Web address for a file into the input box above.

However, I was wondering if there was any type of form that could look at a
directory list in some Web folder that would end up in some input box. This
would obviate the needed for finding the file separately and pasting in the
address as above.

Thanks,
Jeff

No. Java or Flash might, Javascript can't (client-side).
