I’m trying to create something that looks like a input type="file", Only instead of uploading a file, you’d have to choose a folder. Something like the "Save As" dialog, where we choose the folder to store the file.
In this example, I would fetch the folder C:/Users/cesarcacao/Desktop
I’d like to put some attempt at code, but I haven’t been able to build anything concrete.

There is an attribute called webkitdirectory, on the G+ page of Addy Osmani he explains better how it works, here a demo.
<input type="file" multiple webkitdirectory id="pasta"/>
I tested it here and it worked on Chrome/Opera.
For safety reasons current browsers do not allow you to get the full file path. Only IE7 down, source
What we need is to select only the path of the directory...
Yeah, that’s what I’m trying to do, and that’s why I haven’t marked the answer as correct... I’m actually not getting a folder Lert
@Cesarmiguel For security reasons current browsers do not allow this. Only IE7 down allows this. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2008/07/02/ie8-security-part-v-comprehensive-protection.aspx
@Laerte, add this information in your reply, to answer my question and be able to mark sff
Done, @Cesarmiguel.

But you want to select the path of that directory?

Yes, the game goes around a bit. For example, in the image I put, I would fetch the folder
C:/Users/cesarcacao/Desktop– CesarMiguel
