Is there a way to show detail view in iFrame?

Is there a way to show detail view in iFrame, instead of folders?

Hi, here's my starting point (I think it doesn't work on WinXP):

<IFRAME FRAMEBORDER=2 ALIGN=CENTER width=800 HEIGHT=400 SCROLLING=YES SRC="C:\"></iframe>

This should show you a window of what's on your C: drive. However, it shows it in Large Icons view. Any idea how I can make it show in List or Detail view instead? Thanks!

go to View and choose either List or Details.

Thanks, but I meant in the iframe code. My C: drive is set to display Details view, but when I view the web page that uses the iframe code, it displays as Large Icons. Anyone know what I need to put in the code to make it display as Details view instead?

I'm assuming you're using IE. And since you're using it to view the local file system, I assume it's not a typical web page. More like a utility of some sort, maybe?

Is there any problem using an HTA (HTML Application) for this?

With an HTA, you can navigate to the file URL within a child window (opened in IE from the HTA) and use a Windows Script HOst sendkeys routine to change to details view.

Offhand, I don't know any other way to do it. I've run into the same problem myself.

Indeed, it's just a simple utility I'm going for, using IE. What's an example of an HTA? Is it pure HTML?

Here's what I'm trying to do: my team needs to access 5 other team's document folders on a regular basis. I was hoping to create a quick-win HTML page that pulled in the contents of each of those into separate iframes. The end result would be that my folks could open this one HTML page to see what's going on in all 5 teams' folders at once (a document portal, if you will). Get what I'm saying?

I wanted it to be iframes due to the simplicity (if anyone on any team looks at the source and wants to modify it to meet their needs, they can do it themselves even if all they know is simple HTML). What's my best option? Thanks!
