Directory Listing

Description

To dynamically show contents in a directory (any one you want)

More Info

You would need to get the pictures you would want for each type of file in your directory. If you have only one type just define it in the code below to shorten the script.

If you would like to see a working copy, please go to http://www15.brinkster.com/infinityprod/index.asp

Contents of a directory with the following info: name of the file/subdirectory, link to the file/subdirectory, images for the type of file

None that I am aware of
