You can't browser thru the files on the client's machine. You can do whatever you want on the Server's FileSystem. If this browse menu is for the purpose of uploading a file, just use the HTML file tag. Example:

Code:
<input type="file" name="fileUpload">- Thread starter

Hi Wushutwist,
Thanks a lot for your response. But I am not sure I understood this right cos' I have this code in my jsp:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=WINDOWS-1252"%>
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=WINDOWS-1252">
<TITLE>
Browse file system
</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<P>
<FORM ACTION="upload.jsp"
ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" METHOD=POST>
<INPUT TYPE=FILE NAME=file>
<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT>
</FORM>
</P>
</BODY>
</HTML>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This opens a jsp with a text field and a browse button, submit query button. This browsed my local file system. All the C drive, D drive everything.
I have an Oracle OC4J server running on my machine. I deployed it here and tried accessing the jsp from a differnt machine. The browse button was able to access that machine's local file system.
So, how does this work? I am wrong in understanding the concept?
Please clarify. Thanks a lot again for your time.
