Web File/Directory Browser using AJAX

A very simple web based file browser using AJAX and PHP.

This is a project that has been created to demonstrate the power of AJAX and XML. I did this project with a friend, Mattias Arrelid. We were tired of the standard web file browsers that just took too long time. We wanted to try and use AJAX to speed up the process. By using AJAX just a part of the data needed to be requested instead of the whole page beeing sent back and forth. We also wanted to be able to view the content of several directories at the same time. Please download the demo project or report.
Note: You need to put the files on a server that handles PHP and the browser only works with Firefox (css-problems with Internet Explorer).
