To access a local file through your browser, you can use a signed Java Applet. Through JFileChooser you can ask the user for a file, and if the applet is signed and you have configured properly the security of your applet, this will work.

Here is the sun page on signing an applet.

From 6u10, unsigned Java applets can load and save files through a file chooser using the JNLP service APIs.

JavaScript won't work but you can use flash, ActiveX or a signed Java applet.
