Have a client who wanted to provide download access to their weekly newsletter. They have a severly limited infrastructure -- no database access allowed... ActiveX, .NET, Java or any other technology.
Their server is IIS, so I was able to do some hand-coded ASP scripting to allow them to upload files to the web server using an ASP page. I use the Windows File System Object to store and retrieve the files, interating through the object to build a table in ASP that contains all their uploaded newsletters. They can sort by title or date using a client-side JavaScript (although I may change this to a disconnected recordset so they can sort server-side). Only a true techie would appreciate the hoops jumped to get this done... but then the client came back with another request... one more difficult. They want to mirror the site on another server that does not support ASP. They want the same functionality... ability to upload newsletters via a web page and dynamically build a list of available newsletters. Given the architecture I briefly touched upon above... any way to deliver this in a static HTML page? I'm thinking they will just need a page of hyperlinks that is updated by the web developer. Or, is there another dynamic method? Need to give the client an answer QUICKLY!
