Javascript which runs at the client machine can’t access the local disk file system due to security restrictions. Otherwise one would be able to upload files in a hidden form unaskingly using Javascript.
If you like to access the client’s disk file system, then look for the solution in a different corner: an embedded client application which you serve up from your webpage, like an Applet, Webstart, Silverlight or something like that. If you like to access the server’s disk file system, then look for the solution in the server side corner using the server side programming language like Java, PHP, etc, whatever your webserver is currently using/supporting.
