Question

any one can tell how can i load list of files from a folder into a Menulist using JavaScript Arrays.

Answer 1

I beleave it is possible only using ActiveX Object, which is supported by IE only. Here You can find some tutorials: http://www.daniweb.com/web-development/javascript-dhtml-ajax/threads/144152 .

If You are making something for internal use, than You might consider using ActiveX Object. Otherwise, not possible with JS, unfortunately – use server-side languages.\

Example of listing all files in a directory with Java:

import java.io.File;
  public class ListFiles { 
    public static void main(String[] args) {

      // Directory path here
      String path = "."; 

      String files;
      File folder = new File(path);
      File[] listOfFiles = folder.listFiles(); 

      for (int i = 0; i < listOfFiles.length; i++) {
        if (listOfFiles[i].isFile()) {
          files = listOfFiles[i].getName();
          System.out.println(files);
        }
      }
    }
  }

You can then output the files to the webpage with what ever method You are using.
