muffybean,
A simple way to update your picture list is to use some javascript, and FTP up the edited file of javascript.
This means that you can keep the picture list in a file called pics.js which you edit and upload.
Include something like this into you index.htm file using a prpgram like notepad. ( Do not use Word or complcated Web Authoring tool ).
Say I have some graphics files with names like:
apache_pb22.gif,
apache_pb22.png,
apache_pb22_ani.gif
<!-- Put this in you index.htm file with the file names changed. -->
<img src="apache_pb.gif" ><BR>
<h1> Pictures displayed using javascript </h1>
<script>
self.document.write( '<img src="apache_pb.gif" ><BR>');
</script>
<h1> Pictures specified in pics.js </h1>
<script src=pics.js > </script>
<!-- end of include -->
And into a file called pics.js add someting like this:
//
// pics.js
//
function pic(p){
self.document.write( "<img src="+ p +"><BR>");
};
// call this function once per picture
pic("{yourFileName}");
pic("apache_pb22.gif");
pic("apache_pb22.png");
//
// This is more complicated but splits a list of pictures.
//
self.document.write( "<H1>Some more complicated javascript to split a list of file names</h1>");
function picList(p){
var pA = p.split(",")
var opStr = ""
for ( i=0; i < pA.length ; i++ ){
opStr += "<img src="+ pA[ i ] +"><BR>" ;
}
self.document.write( opStr );
};
picList("apache_pb22.gif,apache_pb22.png,apache_pb22_ani.gif,apache_pb.gif");
//
// end of pics.js
//

Its quick and relatively simple for starters.
