hi,
there is some upload system that can convert a jpg,bmp files into a jpg
file?
i have seen a system working in java that can see the folders of my computer
and have the ability to drag the files to a listview
any one know something like that?
thanks for your help

This won't be possible with JavaScript, but you can use a server-side script for the conversion. Also note that JavaScript generally doesn't allow access to local files with default settings.

Normally, JavaScript doesn't allow access to local files. However, you could use a specific solution for a specific browser, e.g. ActiveX for IE, XUL for Firefox.

The simpler, cross-browser solution would be to use an input file element for upload and carry out the conversion using server-side code.
