Again, you really need PHP or another scripting language to be able to do anything but allow the user to browse his/her own computer..( TUTORIAL: [a href=\"http://www.phpfreaks.com/tutorials/36/0.php\" target=\"_blank\"]http://www.phpfreaks.com/tutorials/36/0.php[/a] )( TUTORIAL: [a href=\"http://www.tipsntutorials.com/tutorials/PHP/67\" target=\"_blank\"]http://www.tipsntutorials.com/tutorials/PHP/67[/a] )I know it's not a great reply or a good answer, but I hope it helps point you in the right direction a bit.
