title: HTML+Javascript to read local file system
body: <p>I am Java developer by birth with very limited hands on client side programming, so need help here.</p>
  
  <p>I am basically looking for a way to create single page HTML/JavaScript application to read my local file system. I want to list directories and files within specific directory on my HTML page. What are the ways to achieve this. </p>
  
  <p>Please note that I want to avoid server side coding or web application and stuff. Just need plain HTML and/or Javascript or any Javascript framework to do this for me. And I need it to be working primarily on chrome.</p>
  
  <p>Please suggest.</p>
