Hi.
I'm facing a big problem. Being lazy.
I'm working on a website which has a server side upload script that will handle as many file uploads as I ask it to. The big problem is that I dont want to click 100 times on the "browse" button of the File inputs to upload 100 diferent files.
I have no problem with writing 100, or any other ammount, of file inputs on-the-fly with javascript. What I want to acomplish is something like :
- selecting the files from (windows) Explorer
- drag-n-drop them to IE
- have the browser know the file names and paths <- most important part, and the only one I need.
- write all the file inputs on-the-fly.
I am asking this here because I saw (long long ago) a javascript that actually opened hard drive information, but have been unable to find information about this anywhere nowadays. It can be javascript or jscript, as IE is the target browser of the whole site.
If what I am seeking is impossible to do with the language, just delete this thread and please drop me and email saying it is impossible =) Thank you.
