Hi,
The following method can be used to select a folder...
function getFolderPath(){
var objShell = new ActiveXObject("Shell.Application");
var objFolder = objShell.BrowseForFolder(0, "Save file in...",
0); // This works in both Vista & XP
if(objFolder != null){
return objFolder.self.Path; // returns selected folder
path as a
string
}
return null;
}
refer: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb774065(VS.85).aspx
You can ask the user to type a name for the file and prompt to select
a folder (using the above function) and save the file in that folder.
That works in both Vista and XP.
But I think there should be a better way to do it. Like in Scratch pad
gadget.... :)
