Just one last question to finish...(two questions)

I thought i could maybe use "Page Redirect" "url" node to direct the user to find a local file in the hard drive.
Just to clarify: what i would really like is to have a cylinder or sphere clicked in the scene that would launch a file browser…but any solution below could help, as long as it allows me to place it "in front of the scene" (the <input…in html was getting behind the scene(disappearing once the scene loads)…
1) As asked before, my goal is to have the viewer to click a button or an object in the scene and the file browser will open so they can load a picture of a certain size in the background.
Would it be nice if I could just use the logic nodes for that? Well I HAD THE IDEA TO USE PAGE REDIRECT file:///localHost…or
file:///c: It would do the trick if it was to work….
I tried with the page redirect url node and it didnt work.
Alexander gave me <input file type…. which does not load in front of the scene (pardon my coding ignorance please)….any suggestions?? also I want to try the code snippet for custom anchors using the generic type….but that sounds complicated. But i will try anyway. Please let me know…..
Cant say enough thanks to everyone………
2) what can I do if i want to add a button that will print(copy) the objects in the scene to a separate browser, or .pdf pre formatted form? in other words I would like to output/export the objects to an external formatted page…? obviously im working on acquiring B4W for that. Any suggestions?

You should use JS. See this link.
