dynamic drop-down linked lists

[Chris Healy]

I want to create a drop down list that looks at the files in a
directory and dynamically inserts them in the list, so that they are
linked to the path. If I add a new file to the directory, I want that
to be linked on the webpage dynamically. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Can't be done without something that can run on the machine where the
files are.
If the files are on a web server, you'll need a server-side scripting
language.
How you then make the web page dynamic has a few solutions, depending on
the exact behavior you want and the target browser(s).

Please look up the difference between server-side and client-side before
attempting anything of this nature. :)
