Hi,
i haven't dealt with webpages and/or HTML for a couple years and i have forgotten almost everything...

Whats a simple, yet semi-advanced way of cataloging the media in a specific folder on my hard drive on a web page?
I'd like it to have a search facility, and a 'recently added' feature... will those be hard to implement?

its not going to be on the internet, just for the computers on my local network.

if it helps, i have a webserver utility already installed and working, Publisher 2003, and FrontPage (from office XP).
should i get a new programme or are these sufficient?

Thanks for your time,
Paul
 
dirhtml will do most of what you want, very easily. It is freeware, creates an HTML listing of all files in a directory, and sets them up as clickable links. Lots of options to customize, and easy to use.
You can search by pressing F3 in your browser. It will also it sort the links by date, if chosen. It is free and a small download...give it a try.
 
Hi,
thanks for that, its a really useful programme! saved me a load of time getting started...
BUT
when i click on a folder, i'm kind of expecting it to take me to another page with the contents of that folder. how do i do that?

I could run the programme for each folder and make the millions of links to join all the pages together, but thats way too tedious...

EDIT: i got it, no worries! theres a recursion thingo that did the trick!
