SUMMARY
This step-by-step article shows an example of how to use an
Active Server Page (ASP) to create a dynamic table of contents for a Web site
that is updated frequently. Active Server Pages makes it easier to keep Web
sites up to date without having to manually update a contents page.

Create a Table of Contents
Microsoft provides programming examples for illustration only, without warranty either expressed or implied. This includes, but is not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. This article assumes that you are familiar with the programming language that is being demonstrated and with the tools that are used to create and to debug procedures. Microsoft support engineers can help explain the functionality of a particular procedure, but they will not modify these examples to provide added functionality or construct procedures to meet your specific requirements. The following ASP code is designed to create a
table of contents from the files that are listed in the "docs" subfolder. To
use this example, copy the ASP code in to a file, and then save the file as
contents.asp in a folder that has at least "Script"
access. To change the location of the folder to display, change the line of
code that defines the
strDocsPath variable.
<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT"%>
<%
Option Explicit
Dim strDocsPath, strDocsPhysicalPath
Dim objFSO, objFolder, objFiles, objFile
Dim strName, strFile, strType, lngSize
' NOTE: set the following line to the folder to display
strDocsPath = "docs"
' map the folder to a physical path
strDocsPhysicalPath = Server.MapPath(strDocsPath)
' create a system file object
Set objFSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
' create an object for the folder
Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(strDocsPhysicalPath)
%>
<html>
<head>
<title>Table Of Contents</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1 align="center">Table Of Contents</h1>
<h4>Please choose the Document to view.</h4>
<ul>

' create a files collection
Set objFiles = objFolder.Files
' step through the files collection
For Each objFile in objFiles
' get a file's name
strName = objFile.Name
' make it lowercase for the URL
strFile = Lcase(strName)
' get the file's type
strType = objFile.Type
' make the name a title for display
strName = MakeTitle(strName)
' get the file size in KB
lngSize = objFile.Size\1024
' output the filename and URL
Response.Write "<li><a href=""" & strDocsPath & "/" & strFile & """>" & strName & "</a><br>"
' output the file's size and type
Response.Write "<em>(" & lngSize & "KB " & strType & ")</em></li>" & vbCrLf
Next
' this function drops the extension from a file
Function MakeTitle(strTemp)
If InStrRev(strTemp,".") Then
strTemp = Left(strTemp,InStrRev(strTemp,".")-1)
End If
MakeTitle = strTemp
