jQuery pull images from directory

directory, image, javascript, jquery

Solution

You could use the following to dynamically create an image and append it to a list.

$('<img />')
    .attr('src', 'FOLDER LOCATION HERE')
    .appendTo('#mylist')

some quick searching led me to find a FileSystemObject ( ActiveX =( ) to search a folder for files.

here is a link: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/scripting/search_in_files.aspx

but if you are doing any server side processing (.net, php, whatever) that would be the best way to figure out what images are available to you to display on the page. (so if you could clarify)

Problem

Is it possible to pull a bunch of .jpg pictures form a local file and throw them into a list? Sorry, I was very vague Pulling from a directory (relitive to the index) like. I want to list them in an image tag, sequentially.
