Ability to choose multiple files in the file browser using the browse button

When I click on the browse button input type='file', I get to choose only one file at a time. Is there any way to choose multiple files? Also is there any way to see the files in thumbnail view?

Yes, there is. In HTML5 <input type="file"> can have attribute "multiple"

Old article about that: http://rakaz.nl/2009/08/uploading-multiple-files-using-html5.html

Example. (works in Firefox and Chrome/Iron)

you can choose multiple files only with flash plugins like uploadify, for thumbnails you'd need a java applet

You can use Flash for your file uploads. Flash will allow you to open a file dialog that will allow multiple file selections.

Google "flash multiple file uploader" and you will see many examples.

No way for multiple files that I know of but you can dynamically add file controls to the page if they need to do multiple files.
