directory browse plus a little content?

LenLindquist · Feb 7, 2003

I am running IIS 5 and I'd like to have a small Intranet site that does basic directory browsing but will also allow for short introductory messages/explanations on various pages, too. These would be different messages depending on the directory being browsed.

I'd additionally like to be able to tell the people responsible for each of these directories that if they simply create a text file called "help.txt" or something, that it would display along with their directory.

Is there a way to do this other than through server-side scripting?

Thanks,
Len

HELP.JS
thisHelp="This is the text of my help file.<br />This is a new line."

INDEX.HTM
<html><body>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="HELP.JS">
</script>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
document.write(thisHelp)
</script>
</body></html> Clive

if you mean you want the default directory listing (the generic one that IIS makes when you enable directory browsing) AND your own content to display simultaneously, i don't think this is possible.

what i would do is use server-side script to list the directory contents plus my own content.
