customize index page

Hello!

Is there a way to add css styles to index pages (in directories where no index.html file exists) to make them a bit more attractive, include an image, at least use a sans-serif font.. &c..?

thanks!

If you don't have 'index.html' or some other default document, then you don't have an 'index page'. If you're talking about the directory listing that sometimes shows, that is not a 'page' as such but a listing generated by the web server. I don't think you can style it because I don't think you can find it as a 'page'. What you can do is create an index page with ASP or PHP that presents the directory listing and style that.

right. but there are times when i would like to show that directory listing to other people. I was making some custom error pages using the cpanel, and wondered if there were some way to at least get a logo in there..

Thanks!

Yeah, this is really more about styling the page. (I think(?)) I did find a pretty nice solution for that here too.

I'm really more interested in setting up the default. I have the super file synchronizer linked to this directory, so any file in there gets transported and deleted about once ever 5 minutes. Having an index.php file there isn't really feasible..

Thanks!
