Do you mean a directory listing?

[thrash-boy]

a better description would be handy

[sloter]

You mean like an online radio?

[tumbin14342]

if u explore My Computer. you see a tree menu on The Left Pane. and if u create ane folder it automatically update the tree menu.

 

 

 

i want to show that type of menu on the webpage. when i copy any song in the folder linked to the menu it automatically updates the menu or u can say playlist.

So like apaches default directory menu?

i have not seen apache menu

If i take this right you are just trying to list the items in a directory on the server? You are not trying to play play the song directly from the media player?

Either have the directory linked (without any index page in the directory) or your going to have to use a dynamic language like asp or php.

There you go you finally said it. Yes i see what your saying. Do you have a server setup?

See this image.......if i creat any folder in the drive it shows automatically on the left pane. i want to show this on my webpage. ok now???????????? :(

[sloter]

YOU NEED A SERVER SETUP TO SHOW THAT! How to you expect to show the directory dynamically without a server side language. Personally i would run apache then install php with that is a very common setup. Better yet you can sue like WAMP which will install all of the services for you.

Yes i have a server.

 

 

 

Windows 2003 server+ISA 2006 beta Insatalled and DNS Configured.and i m usind it for my Local Area Network.

[sloter]

So i take you just want to run like ASP the windows default server side language which i don't know and NEVER want to learn a microsoft language. Doesn't that have a default directory listing?

i have seen a media player created localy by speedex.(A local cable net provider)

 

 

 

in that media player they have the link of the folders on there server. when we click on the folder it shows the playlist at the right side of the media player.

[sloter]

You are completely confusing, i am not understanding, or you can't make your mind up. You stated you wanted something that listed the contents of a directory above now you sound like you want a shoutcast.

[JoeDaStudd]

I'm guessing your after a directory listing and when you click the item it plays the video/music, correct?

 

 

 

If not think about what you want and carefully explain it.

so basically every time you copy a file into a directory it automatically updates the bar on the left (part of your html page)?

 

 

 

if i have understood correctly all you would need is a php or maybe javascript function that dynamically creates the bar on the left when the page loads. to update the bar you would just refresh the page.

JS wouldn't do that. AJAX could but not JS as JS is all client side not server.

[R_I_O_T]

You could start a timer with JS and after so long it refreshes the list.

[dsavi]

No, use PHP to update it every time it loads the page. No sense pulling the server if nobody's visiting. A voluntary refresh isn't too hard.
