Not like that you cant. You need to use a <form> and a POST. (or
flash, java etc which is even more complicated) handling file uploads
are far from trivial, you need to take into account many things -
including security - you dont want just anyone to be upload stuff, and
you need to make sure you check the file is what you expect - and that
users dont upload scripts (such as PHP etc). So you need to go though
the hassle to do it 'right' from the start.
