I need help with the following code. I've inherit this setup and did my best to add sorting and links myself, but I still have the following problems:
1. I wanted to make one file (listCollateral.asp) to get the files from one of the customCollateral folders when a link on another page calls for it. (e.x. 'http://www.examplesite.biz/distributors/listCollateral.asp?list=ads').
Right now it displays the list of files in the listed folder but as soon as you sort - it goes back to the root folder and displays those files.
2. How can I only make the file names links? Right now everything is a link (file type, file size, date modified).
3. Is there a better/easier way of doing the same thing in a Microsoft environment without recreating all the other webpages? It is setup this way so non-technical people can just upload a new file to one of the customCollateral folders and the webpage directory immediately updates.
See the full code below. Thank you in advance.
