asp variable on a javascript

[aarellano]

I came across a javascript that shows pictures. I was wondering if there is a way to make the pictures a variable so that the user can just drop the pictures on a folder and tey are shown
this is the part of the javascript where it has the pics

var JaS = {
	// Customization parameters
	imagePath : "pictures/",
	images : [
		["1.jpg", ,],
		["2.jpg", ,],
		["3.jpg", ,],
		["4.jpg", ,],
		["5.jpg", ,],
		["6.jpg", ,],
		["7.jpg", ,], // Separate multiple tags by a comma
		["8.jpg", ,]
	],

Any help or pointing me to the right direction would really help.

Thanks!!

Yes, there's a way in ASP to do this. Use the File Scripting Object to read the directory and sort out the image files, then write the Javascript out as you wish for them to display.

I wish I could understand that but it is a bit over my knowledge. do you have any sites where I could see some samples so I can get an idea on how to go about this?

Which bit is not clear? In your ASP sort out the files you want to show. Then generate the javascript on the fly using response.write to include your variables:

    response.write("images : [")
response.write("[" & chr(34) & myfirstpicturename & chr(34) &", ,],")

etc.
