| Plz, can anybody enlighten me:why some web pages on some web sites can be saved on local driveonly while on-line? More precisely, they can be saved off-line buttheir html bodies are left virginally blank.... |

| Stoad, I don't understand your question. What do you mean by saved while online vs. saved while off-line? I've only saved a few pages that I was browsing, normally, if I want to temporarily hold onto something I'll save the shortcut to my desktop, but of course this means I can't view the page while I'm off-line.I would guess a lot of the view-ability has to do with how much of the page is graphic, although I think there's an option to download all the images when you save, too. And I would guess that a page which immediately expires (check HTML header info) might also have problems being viewed offline.--------------------------------------------------------------Find more words of wisdom at [url]http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/markc[/url] |

| OK, Mark,first of all let's forget about graphic - I keep it turned offand not interested in pictures of any sort.... What I mean is:I.E. menu bar >> File >> Save as...If I am still connected then the page got saved OK, but if Idisconnect (from inet I mean) and try to save it then I getit saved but blank.... |

| And this happens only for some sites, but others save okay? Or is this an across-the-board behavior?--------------------------------------------------------------Find more words of wisdom at [url]http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/markc[/url] |

Of course, Mark. And apparently it is done intentionally,but why the IE is so obedient? I see the tricky page beforemy eyes on my monitor ... and can't save it... |

| Sorry, nothing off the top of my head on this one. Assuming there's something in the header or JavaScript. If you send me a link, I'll see if I can come up with something. BTW, is this IE-specific? Or get the same result in Netscape?--------------------------------------------------------------Find more words of wisdom at [url]http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/markc[/url] |

| I think its because of other external links on the page, possibly Javascript or Stylesheets. If you are interested in just the text on the page, right click on the page, select view source and then select "Save As", change file type to "All types" and type in the desired name with a ".htm" extension.OS |
