Hello All,
I designed this script when I had a very long list of files to share with people. I was getting e-mails saying that my server was too slow when giving directory listings and they didn't know if it was working or not. I got to work and came up with a script to tell you the list is loading and when it has finished, and I have decided to share it with all users of abyss.
It shows the name and the size of the files as normal, but also has a little piece of text telling you the list is loading.
Set the directory listing to load from a template, and click the 'edit' button and add this to the boxes:
-------------------------------------------------------------
Put this piece of code in the HEADER box:
-------------------------------------------------------------


<HTML>
<HEAD>

<style type="text/css">
body {font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10px; color: #FFFFFF; text-align: justify}
a:link, a:active, a:visited {color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration:none}
a:hover {color: #00FF00; text-decoration: underline; bold}
<!--

</style>

<BODY bgcolor="#000080" text="#FFFFFF" link="lime" vlink="lime">

<SCRIPT>

function off(){
document.all.message.innerHTML = "<font color='lime' size='4' face='tahoma'>List Loaded<p></font>";
}

</SCRIPT>

<TABLE BORDER=1 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 width=850>
<TR>
<TD width="750"><b>Name
<TD width="100"><b>Size

-------------------------------------------------------------
Put this piece of code into the BODY box:
-------------------------------------------------------------



<TR>
<TD><font size="2"><b>
<A HREF="<!-- #echo var="DIRLIST_FILE_URL" -->" title="Please right click and 'Save Target As' to download this item.">
<!-- #echo var="DIRLIST_FILE_NAME" --></A>
<TD><font size="2"><b><!-- #echo var="DIRLIST_FILE_SIZE" -->

-------------------------------------------------------------
Finally, put this piece of code into the FOOTER box:
-------------------------------------------------------------



</TABLE>

<img src="blank.gif" OnLoad="off()"><font color="aqua" size="4" face="tahoma"><b>End Of Listing

</BODY>
</HTML>

When you have done this, you will need to make a simple 1 x 1 pixel image file called 'blank.gif'. This is used to call the JavaScript function. Put this in the parent directory of the webserver (or wherever you specify if you change the script).
Thats it! Simply go to a folder with no index file but lots of other files and see if it works!
