Hi All,
I have to show the content of a folder (all files and folders in that folder) in a HTML page using javascript only. I do not have to use server side scripting. I am trying to it by window.location but it is not so result oriented. Please advice if any one have some idea.

Thanks,
Ram

If you want to list the files from the server side then you will HAVE to use either some kind of server side code or set up the folder to have DIRECTORY LISTING enabled in the webserver so the listing is handled by the webserver.

If you want to list the files on a client machine instead then you may be able to use Javascript/ActiveX etc to do this as long as the user allows it.

Thanks a lot.
I am able to do it by using ActiveX object on my local machine. Actually my webpage is on Unix server and folder is in network. That server is not allowing to create object. Is there any way to do instead of using ActiveX??????

As Greg states security is going to be a problem.
If you want to view a folder's files via IE than you need to either use ActiveX, such as the FileSystemObject, or maybe one of the built in behaviours would help, anchorClick or httpFolder:
