How to search for folders using jsp ( or any other way)?

Question

Hey All,
It's my first time writing here and i hope i can get some help ... i have created a payroll system using java and jsp techniques and mysql as the database, i want to create a backup page that will let the use to choose the destination folder for the back up, the backup is basically a mysqldump command that will get the destination folder as an argument and create the sql file there. the problem is i couldn't find anyway to let the user browse his local machine and choose the folder , which in returns return the folder path to be used in mysqldump....
I know that html have <input type=file> but it's used for selecting file not folder...
can someone come up with a solution for me coz it's urgent and i have to finish the project by the end of this week.,.
peace!

Also you can use an OUTPUT clause ( need to modify your DML operations)
create table itest ( i int identity not null primary key, j int not null unique )
create table #new ( i int not null, j int not null)
insert into itest (j)
output inserted.i, inserted.j into #new
select o.object_id from sys.objects as o
select * from #new
drop table #new, itest;
go
The example below shows code that uses OUTPUT clause in UPDATE and DELETE statements to insert rows into an audit table.
create table t ( i int not null );
create table t_audit ( old_i int not null, new_i int null );
insert into t (i) values( 1 );
insert into t (i) values( 2 );
update t
   set i  = i + 1
output deleted.i, inserted.i into t_audit
 where i = 1;
delete from t
output deleted.i, NULL into t_audit
 where i = 2;
select * from t;
select * from t_audit;
drop table t, t_audit;
go
