}
//-->
</script>
</head>

<body>
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td width="100%"><form name="mygallery"><p><select
name="picture" size="1" onChange="showimage()">
<option selected value="me.gif">Picture of me</option>
<option value="myaunt.gif">Picture of my aunt</option>
<option value="brother.gif">Picture of my brother</option>
</select></p>
</form>

Javascript cannot get a list of files in the directory. You will need to generate it using server-side code, or hard-code it into the HTML.

If you have PHP available on your server, I can write a script to list directory contents using that, or if you have another server-side language others may be able to help.
