    Hey..

    I'm making a webpage for file downloads, and I want it to always be current with the files that are available in the directory.

    I figured if there was some way to get a HTML listing of the files in the directory, it would really take a load off. Anyone have a clue?

    Well, you could try leaving out the index.html file and see what happens. The user might get a 403 error, however.

    A directory list is not possible using HTML or javascript.

    What server are you using?

    It's possible with Active Server Pages. Would this be an option?

    You can do it using client-side VB Script but that would makes it IE only and you also get an ActiveX component security warning - messy!
