I want to traverse to a client directory and show the clients directory and
files. Is there a way without using the the <input> tag? I mean dynamically
retrieving the directory information of the client browsing the web page?
 
Better yet, give me your e-mail address and I'll just send you my personal
files over to you.
 
It doesn't have to be a Java applet. It can be any client-side component
programmed to do the task. An ActiveX control can do it. The client-side
FileSystemObject can do it, etc. The point is, it can't be done with
server-side code.

Not if it needs to be cross-browser compatible...

Indeed, though that's not actually what the OP asked...
 
Well, OP could always write an ActiveX control...

Yes, I suggested that, but that ActiveX control would run on the client, not
the server.
