Selecting Muliple Files From Harddrive

Post by icesolid »

Is there anyway to have a button like the "Browse" button to select multiple files at a time from the users computer.

Possibly using JavaScript in combination.

Not that I know of. I do believe the only way to select a file is through the HTML input element with a type attribute of file. I don't think there is any javascript equivalent.

I figure out this hack though, that lets you have any background image as a button, check it out!
