HTML: Browse folder and get local folder location

Question

I have a live site and I want that if the user press the button Select Folder it will prompt user a dialog and search in his local directory what folder he wants. How can I possibly achieve this?

Similar to this but this is a file, I want a folder

   <form id="myForm" class="form-inline" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="wp-content/themes/twentyelevenchild/generate.php?file_name=<?php echo $_GET['file_name']; ?>" method="post">
    <input type="hidden" class="csv_file" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="100000">
    <input name="csv_file" type="file">
    <input type="button" class="btn btnGenerateCsv" value="Generate">

</form>

Can't be done in pure HTML/JavaScript for security reasons.

EDIT

You should be looking to this for alternatives
