title: Getting local file path from html input element
body: <p>I'm building an internal tool that generates a bit of applescript based on fields of a form. For the most part this is fairly straightforward, but I'm having trouble when introducing an external file.</p>
  
  <p>My hope was that I could access the images file path by reading the <code>&lt;input type="file"&gt;</code> element after a user chooses a file, but I've discovered this isn't possible due to security reasons (browsers cant read local directories.</p>
  
  <p>How do I solve for this? I need a way for my program to read a file path of an image the user will choose.</p>
