In my html5 webapp using jquery, I want the user to choose a local directory name.
The <input type="file"> element is close, but I want to choose a folder instead of a file.
fwiw, I need the path too, which I'm guessing may not be possible.

It may be possible with the new FileSystem Api but the browser support is currently pretty bad. Seems like the only supported browsers are using the webkit engine. Everything else including Firefox won't work. So i would go with "No it isn't possible yet."
