I am pretty well versed in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I have been creating a small project on the side. I for the life of me can not figure out a way to create a script that will automatically search a specific web directory and then return the results on a specific page as download links. Maybe I am forgetting something? I have long since abandoned static sites since HTML5, CSS3, and bootstrap but a wanted to do a small project using static. No SSI, CGI, and so on. Can anyone else think of anything?

Only server-side scripts (e.g. CGI, PHP) are able to search directories (client-side javascript can't do that).

You can also let the server itself generate a list of links to a directory's content, e.g. using a .htaccess directive in Apache: http://www.htaccess-guide.com/disable-directory-listings/

That is too bad. I knew about letting Apache list an index but i don't want the standard directory index. I was hoping to have my own custom HTML Directory Index. Anyway to replace the default Apache Directory Index Listing with my own Customized one?

Actually it seems you can, even CSS seems possible: https://perishablepress.com/better-default-...-with-htaccess/ (I haven't tried this myself).
