Hi,

I want a file chooser in html to choose a folder.
I tried with <input="file"...., but it only selects file(not folder).
Is there any way?

If not then, is there any way to add a java component say, JFileChooser in javascript.

Thanks.

No, the file input control cannot be used to select a folder, and no, you cannot use Java components in JavaScript.

If this is a requirement, you may need to explore using a signed applet for this purpose.
