how to pull multiple files html5 jquery

How to pull multiple files using FileSystem Api (Html5) and send to javascript as an array. Actual开发者_如何学Pythonly I'm trying to select multiple files and add them to my slideshow.

Any help would be appreciated.

You need to add the multiple attribute to your input

 <input type="file" multiple />

You can also add webkitdirectory, directory, and/or mozdirectory to specify you want to allow users to upload entire folders. These are not standard, obviously (although plain ol' directory is/may be)

Then in your JavaScript, your input element will have a files array containing meta info on the selected files, ripe for using in the FileReader API. For example:

 <input type="file" multiple onchange="doSomethingWithThese(this.files)" />     

(I don't recommend the inline JavaScript, just for example)
