Opera allows you to open a directory as a page of HTML, with the ability
to rewrite that using userJS...
but then wraps it in a security model that means it won't work, because
giving a page access to a local file system is considered a big-time no-no
for security.

Err, you could use a monstrous amount of lcal javascript to start from a
local place and load in eveerything, and make it work like that, but I
personally wouldn't bother. It's a very obscure bit of work.
The Web API working group is defining a file upload API to deal with
exactly this issue, so you can hope to have this stuff available more
generally soon. Maybe your next class will not need to even do the
exercise...
