Getting a directory name from a form

[xwb]

If I use

<input type=file>

I get an input box with a browse button. On clicking the browse button, a file dialog comes up and I can choose a file. I'd like to do the same for a directory but input doesn't have a feature to pick up directories. Something like

<input type=dir>

would be nice. Any idea how I can get around this one?

Are you trying to use this to allow the user to specify where to save something?

Where to upload someting?

Something different?

Both. It is a directory where the data files live and the directory where I will upload the result files to. There are too many source files with an equal number of result files so I'd like them to just choose a directory where all the source files live and result files will end up.
