boxed/window area which list files in a folder as links

[Mark Ray]

Hi,
I have just started using microsoft frontpage and wondered
if anyone could help me. I would like to setup a page
which displays (in a box window, table or area) a list of
files present in a folder held on a server - enable
scrolling of files within the box and a link to the files
in question. If anyone please help me with this, i would
be very grateful.

Thanks,
Mark

You would have to write some ASP or ASP.NET code that
retrieved a directory listing for the desired folder and
then created the necessary HTML. This HTML would have to
include some JavaScript to actually perform the link.

If you feel this is within your abilities but need more
info to get started, please post again to this thread and
explain which programming technologies your Web server
supports.
