    Does anyone know if it's possible to use javascript to print like 20 different html files without having to all of the documents open? I was thinking about a hidden frame, but that's out of the question.

    Any suggestions appreciated

    What, precisely are you trying to do?

    It's like a mini website that ships with an application, kinda like a set of help files.

    The client wants to be able to print it either section by section or print the whole thing - all 50 pages in one go...

    This sounds like a job for.... CSS!!!

    Unfortunately, being but a poor, mad, programmer, I know little of such things. Others may be able to help you further tho.

    I don't really think CSS could do this unless I dumped all the contents of the help files into one master and did a show hide thing - but I don't really want to go down this route just for a print version of the files...

    Well, you could have javascript pull in the data on demand, and put it in a handy div. This is, these days, called "AJAX", and is a popular buzzword, but it's also, rather unexpectedly, quite useful.
