HTML "Next Page" script

[slimshades26]

I've written pages in HTML and want the user to be able to press a "next page" button to see the each html page within the folder. Instead of hardcoding a link to each subsequent page in file I'd like the button or script to automatically go to the next html file in the folder. This would allow me to rearrange inbound links to the page without the pages appearing out of order, and eliminate coding error.
Ideas?

so....
When user clicks on detail within a category a detail html page renders. Instead of user going back to "view all" I want user to be able to click through the detail pages one at a time if they choose.

Thanks in advance.

You'll need some type of scripting language as HTML alone cannot do this.

You could attempt to do this in Javascript if you have a list of the pages.

You could do this with some server side script like PHP or ASP etc..
This would be my suggestion, as you could code it such that any modifications to the files in the folder would be automatically added on to the page list without any user intervention. This is done by having the script read the directory contents on the fly.

For more specifics you can post in the forum for the language you choose, and that your webserver supports.

Thank you. Yes, I figured it would be a java script. Didn't know if it could be done though. I'll post in JavasScript forum as I'm already using some snippets in these pages already. Thanks for response.

If you have a lot of pages it might be worth considering controlling all the pages server side so your links are handled automatically.

With client side javascript you can't get a list of server files.
You would either need to have a file on the webserver that contains a list of the files you want to load, read that and then set the navigation or use (probably the best option) server side code to build your navigation dynamically.. ASP, .Net, php, etc...
