@Hery: did you _read_ that article? It says you can't do it with only JavaScript.

It's impossible without using a JavaScript extension, or something like ActiveX.

A:
There are APIs developing to make this possible. For instance, Firefox 3.6 has a File API (see active demo), and the W3C has a working draft.
