Hi, All

I've been working on some image scripts with arrays for a slideshow.

It works splendidly.

However, at present I have to manually enter each image that I wish to appear in the array.

Is there a way to create an index (wrong term?) for the array that would automatically create an image array from whatever images are in a given directory?

I've tried something like 'images/' + name + '.gif' but to no avail.

Thanks in advance,

there certainly is, unfortunately not in client-side javascript (to my knowledge anyhow)

if you can use ASP it's pretty easy

Thanks for the reply, vickers_bits.

Unfortunately, I don't use ASP -- or should I say "yet". :-)

You can also use PHP,Perl etc., just any server side language!

folsombob,

I think you can make it work with this code. I just downloaded it last night and in my rush, I didn't record the source--so my apologies to whomever should get the credit.

To see how this works, simply everything between the dotted linesinto a text editor and save as html. It works and will return all files in the same folder as the file.
