Html linking to a directory

[SquallGG89]

Hi, i'm trying to do something like this site http://www.tcd.ie/Germanic_Studies/htm/newsandevents/events/ linking to a directory, but a normal a href tag won't work... does anybody know how to do it? Thank you so much

Hi and welcome to DEVPPL.

Put a few image-files in a folder. Then visit yoursite.com/foldername/ and it will probably be printing out the images like that.

What you see when you link to a directory rather than a specific file isn't a product of your browser or link code, it depends entirely on how the actual web server is configured.

There are many many possibilities, a few common ones are:

The "index" file of the directory (most common)
Message saying the directory does not allow its contents to be listed
Message saying you do not have access to that directory
Message saying it is forbidden to access that directory
A list of files contained in the directory, formatted according to the web server

Hope this helps,
Ezdo
