A listing will be created automatically, and the appearance of this could be controlled using the Apache mod_autoindex module. There is a ScanHTMLTitles option, though the documentation warns that this is "CPU and disk intensive". ScanHTMLTitles is listed under the IndexOptions directive at: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_autoindex.html#indexoptions Andy Clarke ----------------------------- Andy Clarke 78 West Kensington Court Edith Villas London W14 9AB Phone: 44 (0)20 7602 3382 Mobile: 07947 418177 Email: andy@kinonet.com -----------------------------
