If so, it doesn't seem like <input type=file> is > even close to what you want. One other use case I know of is Transmission. It allows selecting of a folder it keeps track of for new torrent files. When new torrent files are added it starts the download process for them. I could imagine something similar being useful for an image sharing site such as Flickr. (This use case does not really fit on top of <input type="file"> however.) -- Anne van Kesteren http://annevankesteren.nl/
