[FX.php List] PHP question: Presenting the user with multiple pages from each result

[Steve Winter]

Hi John,

Not sure that I follow, but I'll throw up a few ideas and see what  
sticks...

1. what about using fpdf to create a multipage pdf document which  
contains all the labels, which the user can then print...?
2. css does offer 'pagebreak' options, which most modern browsers will  
obey, so you could insert those between the labels, on just one page...
3. you could show the first label, use javascript to pop-up the users  
print dialog, so that they can print that doc, then have a 'NEXT  
LABEL' button at the top of the label which takes the user to the next  
page in the set, and use a print specific css sheet to hide that  
button...

Any help...? did I miss the point completely...??

Cheers
Steve
