Getting a directory name from a form

Getting a directory name from a form

Getting a directory name from a form

(OP)
If I use

CODE

<input type=file>
I get an input box with a browse button.  On clicking the browse button, a file dialog comes up and I can choose a file.  I'd like to do the same for a directory but input doesn't have a feature to pick up directories.  Something like

CODE

<input type=dir>
would be nice.  Any idea how I can get around this one?

RE: Getting a directory name from a form

Are you trying to use this to allow the user to specify where to save something?

Where to upload someting?

Something different?

RE: Getting a directory name from a form

(OP)
Both.  It is a directory where the data files live and the directory where I will upload the result files to.  There are too many source files with an equal number of result files so I'd like them to just choose a directory where all the source files live and result files will end up.
