I want to open the dialog onclick event of any button or browse button.
I don't want to upload file, but get file path for just records.
How can i achieve this?
please any suggestions.....

Thanks,

There is no real way for this. IE for example wont give you the path, it fakes it.

You can try to use a FileUploadField and call getValue on it.

Thanks sven. Is there any chances to add 'file open' and 'file save as dialogs' in future versions ?

No, because there are no html elements that are doing this. You will need to write some flash bridge or so.
