How do you allow the user to select a directory (that includes multiple files and sub-directories) and then upload that to a server while keeping the existing directory structure? I found webkitdirectory but MDN doesn't recommend using it. Andrew Poulos

Without webkitdirectory, you'll have to construct the multipart data and provide the required HTTP request headers manually.

I suggest to have two “input” elements: One where you use the “webkitdirectory” attribute, another one where you only allow the upload of an archive file. You could make the choice more obvious by using radio buttons that cause only one of the “input” elements to be shown. (And, if you wish, an extensible group of input controls with which several files of supported types can be uploaded. But note that you can also have one “input” element where several files can be selected.) Be sure to check the MIME media/file type server-side, too. -- PointedEars FAQ: <http://PointedEars.de/faq> | <http://PointedEars.de/es-matrix> <https://github.com/PointedEars> | <http://PointedEars.de/wsvn/> Twitter: @PointedEars2 | Please do not cc me./Bitte keine Kopien per E-Mail.
