其实问题很简单 
index.html

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> 
<script type="text/javascript"> 
function show_root(){ 
//var root = myform.file.value; 
var root = document.getElementById("file").value; 
//alert(root); 
//document.getElementById("root").innerHTML=root; 
myform.root.value=root; 
} 
</script> 
</head> 
<body> 
<form name="myform" method="post" action="upload.php"> 
<input id="file" type="file" name="file"/> 
<input id="root" type="hidden" name="root"/> 
<input type="submit" name="submit" onclick="show_root()"/> 
</form> 
</body> 
</html> 
 
upload.php 
<?php echo $_POST["root"]; 
下面这段js代码就是获得file根目录,然后赋值给hidden类型input,然后就可以交给php or jsp 处理了 
 
<script type="text/javascript"> 
function show_root(){ 
//var root = myform.file.value; 
var root = document.getElementById("file").value; 
//alert(root); 
//document.getElementById("root").innerHTML=root; 
myform.root.value=root; 
} 
</script> 

input file获得文件根目录简单实现
