You can give an input file to the user, use Java, Activex, connect the
server with your pc by using a dedicated program listening on a port, etc.

You also can use this Activex on JavaScript, but it's wrong to access
files directly through JavaScript, so I don't think it's a good approach
and after all, Activex controls, without extra tricks, will work only on IE.
