Hello,
I would like to know if there is any way to select a folder path in HTML, rather that a file path.
so we have

XML

<input type="file" name="BrowseFolder" size=50 onchange="BrowseFolder_OnChange">
</form>

This one selects the file and places the file path in the text box, but i wanted a folder. is there any way this can be done.

In my opinion if you give more details on what do you want to do and the strategy you are seeking you could get a better answer.

No. You could, in theory, allow the user to pick a file and then extract the folder from the path.
