IDEA: Alpha list of files with Numeric drop down to select and display

[schnarkle]

I play guitar at church and would like to be able to select a song order from a list of .pdf files, hit submit and have the songs display in correct order while I page down from one song to the next.



The list of pdf files is in a single directory online.  I'm thinking php to do this?
I would like to be able to just drop new pdfs in the folder via ftp and have them listed out on the fly if possible.

The image is an idea of what I'm thinking it could look like...

  Try AlphaList!

It's just a quick hack, but give it a go.
To change the folder, edit the line folder=.

;AlphaList.ahk

skrommel,

Wow, fantastic!

Only problem is that it only loads the first pdf file for some reason and does not load the others at all?   A minor fix?

anyway I LOVE the implementation!
