Answer 1

It is done the same way you do in normal HTML.
A BSP is only an HTML page which ABAP is compiled into during runtime just like a JSP page or ASP page.
<htmlb:content design="design2003">
  <htmlb:page title = "Test submit ">
    <htmlb:form id="myform" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    <htmlb:inputField id="myFile"
                visible="true"
                width="300px" /><br>
    <htmlb:listBox id="filelist"
                width="300px" />
    <script>
    function selectFolder(){
      var myText = "Browse for file";
      var objShell = new ActiveXObject("Shell.Application");
      var ssfWINDOWS = 0;
      var objFolder;
      objFolder = objShell.BrowseForFolder(0, myText, 0, ssfWINDOWS);
      if (objFolder != null) {
         document.forms.myform.myFile.value=objFolder.Items().Item().Path;
         getFileList(objFolder.Items().Item().Path);
    function getFileList(id) {
      var FSO = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
      var myStartingFolder = id;
      if ( myStartingFolder != null || myStartingFolder != "" ) {
        var myFolder = FSO.GetFolder( myStartingFolder );
        var myFileList = new Enumerator(myFolder.files);
      // First clear all entries
        document.forms.myform.filelist.options.length = 0;
      for (; !myFileList.atEnd(); myFileList.moveNext()) {
          document.forms.myform.filelist.options[document.forms.myform.filelist.options.length] = new Option(myFileList.item().name,FSO.GetFileName(myFileList.item()));
     } // start folder found
    } // getFileList
    </script>
    <htmlb:button id="myButton"
            onClientClick="selectFolder()"
            text="Browse" />
    </htmlb:form>
  </htmlb:page>
</htmlb:content>
Just remember with ActiveX you have security issues to keep in mind!
