Comment:
I am wanting to create a extremly simple web page for some employees. The webpage wont be hosted anywhere on a server, just a link to the exact HTML file will be created on every kiosk. I want the webpage to display a folder hiarchy (PDF files arranged by date, each Month has its own folder and then each day of the month has its own PDF) I need this html is update and add a link to the file whenever there is a new file added to the folders. I am trying to use NVU instead of frontpage becasue it is free. Any help is greatly appreciated.

That won't happen with just plain HTML. You will need to use a language such as PHP. And, to do that, you will need to host the web page file on a server that has PHP installed and configured.

Ok, so if I installed PHP on a server, how would I go about doing that?

If you are going to have the PDF files stored on the same computer that the HTML file will be opened on, you might check out the links provided here for a starting point: http://forums.devx.com/showthread.p...

Is there a way to use PHP, I kind of want to stay away from javascript becasue im not to familiar with it
Edit:
The PDF files will be on a shared network drive. The kiosk is locked down so they can only view web pages and such, they have no direct access to the shared drive
