style the iis directory list page

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Feb 07.2007

Hi all,

I have been asked to put together a page that can be used for a simple intranet for a client.

Basically what they want to do is be able to add files using windows explorer to a virtual directory in IIS and have an intranet page display the contents of the virtual directory.

So this is fairly simple, I have a page that has an <Object> tag in it which looks up to the virtual directory eg [url]http://localhost/intranet/content/[/url]

This works well as there is absolutely no maintenance required and it doesn’t require server side scripting such as asp.net etc.

Although my problem is that the page displayed within the object is not styled like the rest of the page and looks quite ugly. So is there anyway of editing the script that produces the Directory listing or forcing the content within the object tag to inherit the parent pages styles?

Any help would be great.

@Corey_BryantFeb 08.2007 — Ah sorry I read it style of and not just style.

Could you just use something like [url=http://www-new.experts-exchange.com/Web_Development/Web_Languages-Standards/ASP/Q_22031362.html]ASP Script for showing files under a directory[/url] and style it as you would like?
