Click to See Complete Forum and Search --> : Path to network folder in a form?

Howdy, y'all; I'm new to HTML forms and Javascript, so I'm not sure where to begin to develop a form with which the user can select a folder on a shared network volume. I'd like to pass the name of the selected folder to the web server, which will use the selected folder to hold a log file. A good example of what I need is the "Attach file:" and "Browse" functions farther down on this page.

I'd also like to be able to display a set of filenames taken from a folder on a shared network volume in a drop-down list box, from which the user would select one. Any ideas?

TIA.

You are gonna need some type of serverside scripting language such as PHP, ASP, or ASP.net. I recommend you re-post at one of those forums ;)

Thanx for your reply, Phill.

Yup, I concluded as much when I attempted to edit the code for the message text entry page, and noticed that it was a PHP module. This'll serve as the excuse to tear into PHP that I've been looking for.
