Here is a jQuery + AJAX Solution that you can use

//HTML



//JavaScript/jQuery
$(function () {

  //Stop caching if csv is likely to change often (change $.get to $.ajax)
  $.ajaxSetup({
     cache: false
  });

  $('#load').click(function () {

     $.get($('#file').val(), function (content) {
        var output = content.split(new RegExp(",|\r"))
                            .map(function (element) {
           //Do what ever tidy up here
           return $.trim(element).toLowerCase();
        });
        console.log(output);
     });

  });

});

Tested on CSV from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma-separated_values

You could hide the file input control by using something like this http://plugins.jquery.com/project/custom-file
