As Dormilich. posted, they keyword is “consent”. There was a time when ActiveX and Applets could access a visitors file system. I imagine the intent was so that web pages would more closely resemble a native desktop app. Sadly, many security vulnerabilities were exposed, and they were taken advantage of. Since that time both operating systems and browsers no longer allow JavaScript access to a site visitor’s file system.
