Creating an Index File |
I was creating a CDROM version of a web site when I hit a problem.
The
CDROM I was making had a small
embedded web server, but that server didn't allow directory
browsing!
And I didn't want the drudge work of manually creating default web
pages.
The first script I wrote just made a page of
links,
but I REALLY wanted icons. So I ended up with two ways of doing it:
| XBM |
XBM is a black and white plain-text graphic format that IE on XP/SP2 doesn't seem to like. Works fine everywhere else. |
| GIF |
GIF works everywhere every time. Even on really bad browsers
like IE. |
As you'll discover, after creating the indexing scripts, I decided to
use them to create all my "download" web pages. They're not just for
CDs!
Lost? Look at the site map.
Bad links? Questions? Send me mail.
