Dear All,

I just hope i am in the right forum and am asking the right question.

1) I would like to download multiple pages from the same page on a particular website. For e.g., there may be 10 mp3 songs on a particular webpage, but currently i download them one at a time by clicking on them and saving it to a particular folder in my hard disk. What i want to do is have some program do this job for me in downloading all the 10 files, instead of me doing it one by one.

Another example is that on a particula page I have text files arranged according to chapters and sub-chapters which are the files that i want to download all at once instead of clicling on individual chapters and sub-chapters etc.

Can anybody assist me in guiding me how do i go about doing this task please.

2) Now, with regard to the text files; i have (for e.g.) 20 pdf files in a folder and I want to use some sort of program so that i can queue them all up for printing at the same time (instead of printing one by one, etc.).

Thanks
:)

What happened to my reply earlier? :confused:
Originaly it was in the Post a Javascript (http://www.codingforums.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=19) forum and in the thread list my name is still in the Last Post.

Anyways, to answer the question...

If the site is not yours, you cannot do what you want unless the owner of that site provide a zip file of the mp3 files.

Your only chance of downloading it at once is to use a webspider tool.
