Please check the description of pipelining in the HTTP specification; I think it will achieve your aims better than loading a whole archive. You might also want to consider the HTML email (de facto) standards, Microsoft's HTML help format, and the long established Adobe Acrobat format. (In my view the fragmentation of HTML-based pages into multiple downloads, is a consequence of a drift towards using it like Acrobat, but with a design that was not optimised for the purpose, i.e. HTML was designed to carry links to content, not large volumes of embedded content.) -- --------------------------- DISCLAIMER --------------------------------- Any views expressed in this message are those of the individual sender, except where the sender specifically states them to be the views of BTS.
