How To Detect Directory Select Capability In Browsers?

I am trying to find out if browser has ability to select folders, not just multiple files. Current Chrome supports this (example: http://html5-demos.appspot.com/static/html5storage

Solution 1:

Maybe this is a solution for your problem:

function isInputDirSupported() {
    var tmpInput = document.createElement('input');
    if ('webkitdirectory' in tmpInput 
        || 'mozdirectory' in tmpInput 
        || 'odirectory' in tmpInput 
        || 'msdirectory' in tmpInput 
        || 'directory' in tmpInput) return true;

    return false;
}
