Re: Open File on client side.

With the new W3C File API you could access files that are picked (by
the user) using an input tag or dropped via mouse (etc) over the
browser window, but AFAIK FF 3.6 is the only browser that supports it
now. @ Google IO, the comments from the GWT team were that as soon as
there is more browser penetration, gwt will support it.
