Get directory path by jquery

Question

To choose the file type there is a Certain input

<input type="file" id="theFile" />

but I do not want to choose the file, I want to choose a folder from the I?

So you want to know what folder the file is coming from? What do you plan on using the path for? — zero298, Jan 27 '14 at 22:18

That's simply not possible. You can only choose files, but not folders (all files in a folder is fine though).

To select multiple files, use multiple:

<input type="file" name="whatever" multiple>

The 'file' input type is for just-as-it-reads -- selecting a FILE, not a DIRECTORY.
