Accessing local file systems in HTML or JAVASCRIPT

[pradeepbhojak]

I have a drop down box on an HTML page that needs to be populated with the contents of a .csv(comma separated values) file stored on the local file systems..

Thanking in anticipation.

file input for the user to enter the file name via the dialog box =>
submit to the server side =>
process the file on the server =>
populate the select element of the output html with the extracted data...
