how to open file chooser that can choose multiple files in Explorer

Question

I want to be able to open a file chooser dialog, from which I will be able to choose more than one file from the same dircetory. Similarly to the behavior that 'add attachment to gmail' provides. Only I don't need to upload the files immediately through Ajax. the files that I chosed can be uploaded later when pressing on the submit button of that dialog.

The technologies that are available are:
html, javascript,, JQuery (only if needed) JSP, java

Answer 1

As simple as it gets - just add "multiple" to the input element...

<input type="file" id="files" name="files" multiple>
