To OP, that's because if I am not mistaken the purpose of the file field
it select a file for upload, not a folder of files.

And which system is that? In DOS, Windows and Linux the directory is
just a file on the filesystem with a special directory attribute, right?
Still cannot select the folders with the file input browse dialog...

Is this new for Opera? The 7.54 version that I have on W2K for testing
cannot select more than one file. Anyway isn't the browse box, at least
on Windows, the OS's common 'file open' dialog and not part of the
browser? (Just checked on Linux, it is not the same, but Windows it
certainly is!)

To OP, You could use the file input field to browse and select each
file, and then use JavaScript to append each section to a list or array.
