Wildcards in a slide show

Anyone could give me some leads on where to find a javascript program
to make an automated slideshow with pictures located in an specific
directory? What I mean is that I do not wish to specify specific
pictures, but just tell the program to use all the contents (*.*) of
a specific directory.

Thank you for your input!

Ordinary javascript cannot directly read directory listings. You need
serverside languages for that. An idea is to consequently name your pictures
logically, like img01.jpg, img02.jpg etc. so you can easily loop through
them in your javascripts.

Why do you consider "ordinary javascript"
not to be [also] a serverside language?
