- But, Can I Also...
Hmmm, that's cool! But, can I also....
- add an "1 of 10" feature
- display a different name for the link instead of the file name
- sort the files by some other info
- eliminate some files from being linked to
- display alternate content if there are no files in the folder
- use ASPImage (what's ASPImage?) to create thumbnails on the fly (what about
PHP?)
-And depending on how you chose to name your files, you can even select from
amongst them based on theose names (like thumbs).
- do Breadcrumb navigation
- (issues - what info available in FSO might be useful here - file sizes,
etc.)
