Read local file

Is there no way for javascript hosted on a web server to read a file on the client's local machine? (this has obvious security risks). I think I'm wondering if there is access provided by the user, for example, dragging a file into a browser or explicitly selecting a file from a pop-up window to get around this?

I know that flash 10 allows you to read a local file, just wondering if there is any method for doing this in javascript.

thanks

Of course, you can just upload the file to your server, then ...

Who, by common sense, will release a browser that allows JS ... oh wait, you can with activeX, but only works with IE.
