Comments on: Apache Directory Indexes 201 http://underscorebleach.net/jotsheet/2004/02/apache-indexes-201 I'm pretty good at wasting your time. By Tom Sherman. Fri, 30 Jul 2010 04:13:38 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: RichardBronosky http://underscorebleach.net/jotsheet/2004/02/apache-indexes-201#comment-294 RichardBronosky Fri, 30 Jun 2006 15:28:39 +0000 http://www445.pair.com/tps115/jotsheet/?p=46#comment-294 One way to take this to the next level is to add JavaScript to the HEAD. I've built a full "OS X Column View"-like UI using XMLHttpRequest and the <a href="http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/index.html" rel="nofollow">wonderful Yahoo! UI libraries</a>. Unfortunately I can't release that code at the moment, but I can give you this as an inspiration: <code> <script> var path = window['location']['pathname']; var host = window['location']['host']; var shortHost = host.replace(/\.corp\.domain\.com|\.domain\.com|\.corp/,''); window['document']['title'] = "Browsing " + path + " on " + shortHost; </script> </code> Keep in mind that the search pattern is "stingy", and will perform first come first replace. I hope this inspires you to do something great. (Maybe I can publish my code later.) One way to take this to the next level is to add JavaScript to the HEAD.

It was actually the .shtml extention...(?) Looks like I won't be able to use SSI to fancy-schmancy it up, but at least I get CSS control of the directory. Cheers. Problem fixed!

Shouldn’t matter where in the document the STYLE tag is — you can still override the default whitespace behavior of PRE… You may also want to change its font away from monospace?

The problem actually is the CSS is being generated <i>after</i> the PRE, so even the style info is showing in the code, not having any effect. Here: <a href="http://www.TimeNav07.org/outgoing/listing/" rel="nofollow">http://www.TimeNav07.org/outgoing/listing/</a> I was initially looking for the method to eliminate the truncation of the file names, but saw that you could do more with CSS and includes. I don't know why those PRE's are being generated, and I can't get SupressHTMLPreamble to do its thing either. Probably my host's doing. Thanks again. Thanks Tom.

You could also override PRE's normal whitespace properties with some CSS for the indexes: pre {white-space: normal;} Ted,

No worries. You could also override PRE’s normal whitespace properties with some CSS for the indexes:

pre {white-space: normal;}

I'm having a problem with the header and footer, however. Apache seems intent on slapping tags around the all content of the header and footer files when they're included on the page load. I'm seeing the raw html/ssi/php code in the browser window. Is there way to suppress this PRE tag generation ? My host is on Apache 1.3.31 (and I've noticed that the more elegant supressHTMLpreamble doesn't work either). Maybe there are overides on somewhere, but I thought localized .htaccess was supposed to suppress the globals... Any advice appreciated.

There is a utility that comes with the pache 2.0 install that lets you test the configuration file. It should show what's wrong in there, to some degree. Maybe you're placing the described in the wrong location? Put it where the old readme and header definitions were. It’s working great for me in apache 2.0!

So I am using <code>HR { visibility: hidden; }</code>. I am using PHP instead of SSI, I found that using REQUEST_URI alone meant that the fancy indexing sorting options appear in the title. So I wrote this which also removes the trailing slash. <code> $ruri = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; $path = substr($ruri, 0, strpos($ruri,'?')-1); </code> I hope someone finds this useful.

$ruri = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
