I know you can get a button to find a file path with the following <INPUT NAME="userfile" TYPE="file" > but is there a variation to this where I can get more than one file or an entire folders location. I want users to be able to give the paths to several files without having to click the button and find 10-20 files.

If there is no html solution do you know if this could be done with javascript.

There is no solution for this in HTML or JavaScript. AFAIK your only hope would be to look for solutions in Java or ActiveX.

There are a few Active-X examples available, but that will limit you to users with Internet Explorer only. A Java Applet is another possibility as the plugin is available for many different platforms and browsers and it quite commonplace - however Java applet tends to be slow.

One free Java applet I know of that can do what you want can be found here:
