Can HTML automatically pick up JPGs? walterbyrd 09-12-2004

Let's suppose I have dozens, or hundreds of JPGs. I want to put them
in photo album sort of format. With thumbnail and all. Do I have to
specically spell out the full name of each file? Or is there a way to
create a script that will pick up the next JPG, and put it in the next
location?

I presume you mean as part of a webpage?
HTML is a markup language, so if you didn't provide the
name(s) of the file(s), how would the browser know what
image(or image thumbnail) to request from the server?

Easy to do if you use server-side scripting, which could
just read the names of all the images in your image directory,
and create a webpage on-the-fly.

You could also use software on your PC which creates 'photo
albums'(i.e. HTML pages), and upload the HTML and images
to the server.

Could you recommend such a product?

As I don't use such products, I can't "recommend" one.
You could take a look at Web Album Generator:
