Unfortunatly javascript can't access the filesystem so it can't get filenames. The closest way you could do something like this would be to use Java (not javascript, totally different).

Which by "signing" you Javascript, you will be allowed to access the local file system. But, again, it is all about the permissions. JimHi ! Anyone knows PHP/AJAX library which allows to get full path of file dropped into web browser's window area? It is required for document archiving system in order to avoid multiple (or to be more precise, almost endless) usage of "open file" dialogs from the browser. Library should be compatible with Firefox (Lin, Win, Mac), IE and Safary. Thanks in advance for any suggestion(s). Andrei
