i want to have files that are Word Docs on the server available to the
members by having them select the files they want by select button and then
clickcing a Download button to obtain them all as once, instead of right
clicking on each one and selecting the save as option.

i am trying to get a page made up to do the following please can you copy
this into a notepad and saveas a webpage (html) and then have a look at it
to see what i am after.

thanks

<form method="POST" action="--WEBBOT-SELF--">
<!--webbot bot="SaveResults" S-Builtin-Fields --><p>select the file you
require and then click <b>DOWNLOAD</b> to obtain them.</p>
<p><input type="checkbox" name="C1" value="ON">file one</p>
<p><input type="checkbox" name="C2" value="ON">file two</p>
<p><input type="checkbox" name="C3" value="ON">file three</p>
<p><input type="checkbox" name="C4" value="ON">file four</p>
<p><input type="checkbox" name="C5" value="ON">file five</p>
<p><input type="button" value="DOWNLOAD" name="B1"></p>
</form>
<p>--------------------------------------------------</p>
<p>the out come should be that a save as window would open asking for a
location
on their pc, to save them to and clicking the save button in this window
would
then save all the selected files they have chosen.</p>
<p>note.&nbsp; all the files that are selectable are already on the
server,&nbsp;
they are all Word Docs,&nbsp; I am unable to import them all as there are
hundreds of them and they would have to be reformatted to fit on the
webpage, as
they contain formatting that are not compatible with HTML, so this is the
only
way I can do this.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>thanks in advance for any help that you can give me.</p>

I've never observed a mutliple file download process and think
it correct to say the HTTP protocol will not support doing so.

Which application server are you using? IIS or what? Does your
host support ASP.NET? Are you willing to pay for a solution?

at present i do not pay anything for the site, it is a freebee with ads at
the top and bottom of the pages, but full functional only html and java
supported.

i am using frontpage 2002 to write pages, but have made a few changes to the
html by hand, this feature would save me importing a lot (1000) files thatr
are in Word, to HTML, as the formatting is not compatible i have to change
the pages to suit html, and then have them use the save as in the file menu,
which is going to take a long time to do, and also take a while for them to
do too. when it comes to obtaining the files they want.

i think maybe it would be a java script that would make this possible.

what do you think.
