Maybe I wasn't clear. All I want is to get the directory names and file
names that are contained in a specified directory path.

A filename.dll will be executing this code.

Thanks.

Depends on what language/tool you're using. Most of the time you can
reference the COM based filesystemobject:

VBScript has the FileSystem Object that will do this.

Thanks.

I tried using the File System Objects in my java scipt but it looks like
the java script code bombed.

It bombed on the statement:

fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");

If I comment out the above statement, my java script function does not bomb.

Is there a setting or something I need to do with my windows 2003 IIS sever?
Is there an include file I need?

My java script is:

<script language=javascript>

function select_change()
{
..
..
..
var fso;
fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
..
..
..
}

</script>

Here's part

You're trying to run this client-side? You can't use the FileSystemObject
in client-side browser code as that would be a security breach. You would
have to wrap it in a custom ActiveX and sign it.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Thanks.

I think I see what you mean. However, I don't understand when you say "wrap
it in a custom Active X and sign it". Could you please explain?

Also, the code listed below I thought could be run in java script. (Client
and Server)

Scripting Runtime Library

Folders Collection
Collection of all Folder objects contained within a Folder object.

Remarks
The following example illustrates how to get a Folders collection and how to
iterate the collection:

[JScript]
function ShowFolderList(folderspec)
{
var fso, f, fc, s;
fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
f = fso.GetFolder(folderspec);
fc = new Enumerator(f.SubFolders);
s = "";
for (; !fc.atEnd(); fc.moveNext())
{
s += fc.item();
s += "<br>";
}
return(s);
}

I didn't think Javascript had a File System Object. It's a VBScript
object:

I found this for javascript:

Scripting Runtime Library

Folders Collection

iterate the collection:

[JScript]
function ShowFolderList(folderspec)

fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
f = fso.GetFolder(folderspec);
fc = new Enumerator(f.SubFolders);
s = "";
for (; !fc.atEnd(); fc.moveNext())
{
s += fc.item();
s += "<br>";
}
return(s);
