I dont think so.
Maybe with a java applet, but I really dont think so.

Nope - sorry - it's not possible

Actually, there is a Javascript method in IE5 that allows you to do this (the method name has escaped me at the moment)

When I tried it, it locked up my browser. My clients were mainly IE4 users anyways, so I haven't looked into it any further. Maybe I was just using it incorrectly


Anyways, my point is that this is possible :)
