How can I read the Content of a directory in my HTML-structure, and show it with an alertbox or something.
What I actually want, a Photo-Page.
If i load the page, My browser have to check how many directories there are in the map ALBUMS. So if i add an album later I don't have to adjust my code. Present those as links on my page. And if I hit one of those links. It has to show the pictures in that specific album. Design is for later.
So this would be my structure index.htm photo.htm - DIR: ALBUMS - SUBDIR: ALBUM1 - photo1.jpg - photo2.jpg - picture.jpg - SUBDIR: ALBUM2 - .....
And so on So if I add an album or a picture in one of the albums I just want to upload my directories with CuteFTP, and not change any code.

Asking the same question[1] all over again is not going to result in better answers. The same good answer[2] remains: you also need a server-side application for this; maybe, but probably better not, written in "JavaScript".
Client-side JavaScript alone cannot do this as it cannot "know" about the server-side directory structure without the server "telling" it about it.
You have already been asked to learn the basics and you have been pointed to the newsgroup where general Web authoring questions are on-topic. Further disregard of that request is considered impolite and therefore may result in your postings being filtered out by individual subscribers. You have been warned.[3]

I maybe explained the thing about Client wrong. I just mean my customer has to be able to just upload his directory structure with albums with FTP. So he can easily adjust his website. There is no server involved in this.

At least an FTP and an HTTP server is involved in this, of course.

Well, if your Web server provided a directory listing you could parse this, and generate the `img' elements dynamically. But then nothing worked without client-side script support, so you really do not want that.

Get better webspace, then.
And please trim your quotes as described e.g. in the FAQ Notes.
