directory listing in HTML

[Z.K.]

I not exactly an expert in HTML though I have designed a few web pages.
Normally I hard code each file I want to be on the web site that the
user can download. I was wondering though if there is a way to get the
contents of an entire directory and list them on a web page and what
would be the best way to do this.

I would say server side would be the best way. Loop through the
contents of the directory, and put your markup accordingly.

Do you want just a plain director list, or do you want it in the context
of markup?

So that a visitor has to download *all* of them, even if he only
wants one or two? You have broadband, don't you?

I'm tired of manually deleting people's not properly-deliminated
sigs.

Certainly would be server-side scripting, probably php or maybe that
Windows one (asp?) I've never done it, myself, but ss languages are very
powerful in certain ways, and there is undoubtedly a method to expedite
your goal.

If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.
