javascript to open files

alalex

how can i use javascript to look into a directory for pictures, count the number, and then display them into a web?

The directory is /images/pictures
The pictures name is 1,2,3,4...

And then, into images/pictures there are more folders, is it possible to make javascript display a title with the name of the folder and then the pictures that are in that folder???

I would like to display a message like "Loading pictures" And then make the pictures appear all in a column.

hi, for client-side javascript. You can not do that. Or use asp or asp.net
or php etc.

Hope this help.

hi,
for your problem the awnser is simple. javascript is used for client side language. and security reason javascript not permite to write any code on client side.
You can read and write files o directory on server side with any server side language like php, jsp, asp etc.

I would recommend using PHP because it is free. With PHP the task you are attempting is easy. Could probably be done with a single function Smile
