Fetching a filelist/array of local directory

[jackli]

How do you use javascript (or another language) to fetch the filelist/array of a user's local directory (given permission, of course...)?

Not gonna happen with js.

or another language

I think with VB script, permissions, IE, and windows you can do it.

Can't do it in Javascript, but maybe you should consider a java applet or activex control. But maybe you shouldn't because nobody likes those.

hm... how would you fetch a list of available fonts on a user's computer?

You can try to build ActiveX object and add to your page. This object can read local filelist and then send it to server!
