Sorry if this is vague but.....
After a user goes through a series of selecting from 3 drop-down menus I
would like to fill in a scroll box with a listing of icons representing
files. I want something similar to Windows Explorer, but I do not want all
the extraneous toolbars, menus, etc. I would like the feel & look of a
TEXTREA box except the TEXTAREA would contain icons representing filenames
of the directory selected in those 3 drop-down boxes.
To give a little more detail...
1. The use selects the region from the first drop-down box (Atlanta,
Boston, Charlotte, Chicago, etc.)
2. The user selects the state from within that region
3. The user selects the county from within that state
The ASP would then go out to the specific directory (based on the choices
made) and the "scroll box" would be filled in with all the files in that
directory. Again I would like something similar to a TEXTAREA, except
instead of text showing file icons would show. A user would then be able
to click on the icon to download the file.
Someone suggested using the <IFRAME> tag, but my understanding is this tag
is only supported in IE, not NN.
I hope I am making sense.
