Listing files from a directory 1

[PapaGLP]

I want to create a script that will list the files from a directory on my web server into a web page. Then i'll be adjusting it to make it link to certain sites. Question mainly is how do I access the directory and get the files to the page. Thanks

You cannot do this with JavaScript (or any other client-side language). You must use a server-side language. I recommend you use PHP or ColdFusion.

Hope that helps!

Happy coding!

Using this technique, you could create an array of hot-buttered-cats that could levitate a train across the country...
