I have an internet location with files I share with other people.

If people go to this location and there is no index file there, they get
to see all files. That is in a way what I want, only that the default
file list in for example MS Internet Explorer looks a bit simplistic.

I dot want to have to edit the index file each time I add a new
file to this location.

So I am trying to figure out if there is a way to write an index file
which contains code to scan the same directory the index file is
located in and displays all files available there with a pretty
layout. Maybe with icons and file names?

Can this be done in Javascript? The prerequisite for that, is that
a Javascript (on the client side) can read directory entries on the
server side. Maybe one cannot do that with Javascript.

Thanks in advance for any help with this.
