Save Multiple versions of a page on the client side

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.

Multiple database services and multiple versions on Red Hat Linux systems The way it works is that we require a specific service script for each database service (that is listening on each port).

We use the 'chkconfig' utility to decide if each of those services will be activated on boot or not (it manipulates links under...

Hi- I am developing an ASP.NET application that can take a few seconds to process the request from the user. We are looking for a client-side solution that will prevent users from resubmitting the page multiple time in their irrational impatience. There are a few posts on this group which suggest that we use JavaScript hooked up to the page's OnSubmit event to catch mulitple submissions. See postings by Craig Deelsnyder et alia.

Hi All I have a need for an asp.net page to make a call to a server which it did not originate from when a button is clicked. A simple call to pass 2-3 params and return a result. I am happy to use an asynchronous model to do this. I control both servers. I have been looking at Ajax and PageMethods (Ajax.Net and Ajax Pro) and have even been looking at Calling a webservice from JS.
