Save MANY versions of a page on the client in one operation?

In an earlier post, someone asked about how to save a page on the client
programmaticall y. I also had to solve this problem and did use Steven's
approach. It worked
great!

Now here is an interesting twist. The page that gets saved to the client
contains a several DataGrids components. The data displayed in the grids is
filtered by the contents of a separate drop down list box. This allows the
client to "download" one page a time.

I now need to replace the drop down by a list box that supports
multi-selects. When the client user clicks on the "download" button, I need
to generate several versions of the page, each displaying the data related
to one of the selections in the list box.

How do I do this?

I first tried to extend the approach given here ahd have the page render
itself several times. Each time it renders itself with new data, I would
capture the stream into a file on the server. Once we are done with all the
renderings, I would then zip up the files and send them to the client. The
question is, how can I force the page to render itself several times?

My next idea is to use a session variable to store all the selections from
the list box. I then create another page whose sole purpose is to redirect
me to my original page. In my original page, every time it loads, I check
the session variable and move on to the next item in the list. Once I
capture its output, I then redirect the response to the newly created page,
which will in turn send me back to my original page, etc.

Any ideas?

Hello, If you point your browser to this page, http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/vnc-tight/tightvnc-1.2.9_x86_viewer.zip?use_mirror=umn the server sends you the HTML page, and very soon afterwards, you are prompted to do a 'Save-As' for a file to download. How do they do that without the classic "Headers already sent" error?

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew how to go about having a "save as HTML" option incorporated within a page. (I know the option is available from the file menu from within IE, but a client has requested that a button be used instead) Does anyone know how to go about accomplishing this? The possibility of IE specific code is available, as IE 6 is assumed as the client. Thanks in advance.

Hello, the scenario: There's an ASPX page which shows some text and has three buttons at the bottom: Save, Print and Close. Print and close is done by javascript.

Hello, I have been Googling for a bit now as to how to let the user save the current page via a 'clickable icon' to an HTML file (i.e., on the client side.) That is, I am presenting a lot of analytical results (from a PostgreSQL database) and the parameters the user selected on a page as a series of table, etc - with the number of results and hence the number of "little tables" being related to what parameters they chose.
