Navigate/Browse button in a webpage

Question

I am workign on a webpage and in that I am querying a DB and getting filepath. I am able to dispaly that path from DB on my page. Now as an enhancement I wanted to add a 'Open' button next to the path being displayed. As the file would be .xml or .xsd so we can use the new window/tab of browser to open the same. I am aware of html codes used to upload a file but don't know the code to open a file. I tried playing with <input type=file> but no luck.

So can anyone help me in this.Any small pointer will be helpful. I am not using Swings so no point of trying JFileChooser

A file input is for people to upload files.

If you want to let people view files that are on the server, just use a normal link.
