Through File Chooser we can browse the files in our system and select a specific file. In this program we make an interface in which there is one text fields. We have 3 buttons Load, Save, Browse. When user click on browse button then the file chooser is open and user can select a file, when click on load then all the text from file is copied and it shown on text area and save button save the user text in the given text filed.

  1. Small recommendation:

    Attach a file of the code rather than the whole code contained within a div on the page. It is unsightly and rather annoying to scroll through.
