Answer 1

You can't. The input type=file control is limited to picking one file at a time.

If you want to pick multiple files, there are various ways, Flash based uploaders, Java and ActiveX based components. The Flash based uploaders are the best bet, and there are Open Source ones around. Check out SWFUploader.
