Hi All!
When I come find a usefull page in the forum I always save the page (like most I suppose)
Since updateing winXP Pro to SP2 this has not been possible.
I try to save full web page.
As I understand this is a security feature that stops saving when a page component resides on an outside server and many times it's a style sheet that resides on another server than where the page is.

Anybody else is bothered by this?
Any help?
Thanks all

I don't understand. Have you difficulties to save a Web page from this very forum? From what I see, all the files are on the same server, except an occasional image in a message that come necessarily from another server.

Even on XP SP2, I never failed when saving a page. I use Firefox. What browser are you using?
Note that you can probably save the image or the stylesheet separately and put it later in the page folder.

I get the error in IE (XP SP2 - fully updated) too - it starts saving (this page) and then gives an error:

I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it, but the forum was recently changed to use an external CSS file. This speeds up page loading and saves bandwidth.

The CSS file is http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/templates/subSilver/subSilver.css

[evl]

I can download that CSS file (save target as) ok - I presume that was what the link was for?

I found that I can save a page as a txt file ok, but even choosing to save the web page only (html) option it aborts with this error:

Perhaps there's a link somewhere in each page's HTML that MSIE doesn't like (perhaps the logo at the top or the page it points to). If anyone discovers an easy solution, please let me know.

if you want save parts from script, a tool from AGermanUser CopyPassage
(instead of ctrl/c ctrl/v save as , write date and url ....etc )
http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7914
Imagine you're surfin the web and discover some lines of text on a website you might need later. So what do you do?
Save it to a loose textfile on your desktop and end up with textfile filled with lots of text passages. Hard to organize.
That's why I wrote this little tool. It contains two hotkeys:
* Win + c (copy)
* Win + g (gui)
Win+c creates a textfile in the scripts subdir 'notes' which hold the date, URL and the copied text passage.
Win+g opens a GUI which lets you organize all your little textfiles.

I've looked into this further. The error from Internet Explorer "This Web Page Could Not Be Saved" appears to be a known issue. Here is a workaround from a post over at phpbb: [When saving] if you are using IE 6.x, choose "web archive" as file type (.mht).

Could have sworn I tried the mht format, but guess not because it does work fine

[bahri]

Hi!
Thanks for the messages.
Yes Mht saving is OK
I think that it is the style sheet that is not available on the server that's cousing this.
I have used Maxthon Browser for a long time it's a front end for IE but has many options and also it's tab feature is great
Now this browser has a menu item called auto save and this is very handy, it saves the pages grouped by the site so when I auto save a page from this forum it automatically goes to the autohotkey folder.

Then Once so often I Group all these into a chm (help) file using Far.
Far needs Htm not mht, but I can now load the mht and save it as complete html.

Takes longer but seems to work

Thanks all

@ bahri: Interesting use there. Maybe others would find it useful if you posted a script to convert mht files to html (with IE - since then it doesn't matter if you have a specific IE variant or not) if you intended making one. I notice Firefox can't open mht files either.

Mht is a format I use for archiving occasional pages because it's nice not to have lots of little files and folders generated by saving just one page, although I've not needed to convert back to html yet.

[bahri]

Strange Firefox can't open mht I tried it and you are right, (that's why I stick to IE and it's variant Maxthon).
All I am doing is load the saved mht in ie and re-save in the other formats.
This problem of some code on a different server is not applicable then because it's all local.

BTW mht when opened in a text editor is in MIME format pics are all included (similar to an attached pic in email).
I suppose a script to convert might be possible but is it worthed?

bahri

[evl]

@ bahri:
By "script to convert", I just meant a script that automated the saving from mht to html in internet explorer - which I thought you might do if you have a lot to convert regularly (something I don't really have a need for myself at this point in time).

If mht is a simple file format then I'm surprised it isn't supported by Firefox - I presumed it must be a proprietary format, etc.

Very interesting, thanks for the information.
