"Make available offline"

[maddoggmotorsports]

i would like to save an entire web page so i can put it on my hard drive exactly the way it is and keep it like that - my question is how?
when i tried to 'add to favorites' and 'make available offline' it still appears to connect to the page when i click on the 'favorite'..........please help if you can

Did you try to find the saved webpage on the HD?

 

[maddoggmotorsports]

yes i did......i found it in the 'Offline Web Pages' folder in the 'Windows' folder.......i locked all internet activity with the firewall and clicked on the 'page' in that folder and it tried to access the internet to get it........when it couldnt, i got failure to load, or similar error

no no, try going to the web site and clicking on File > Save As... then choose a directory on your hard drive somewhere and click save. It will save probably an html or htm file as well as a directory called [whatever file name you saved the html file as]_Files that has all of the images from the website in it. Then to view the website just double-click on that file from your hard drive and everything will be saved

I do this all the time for receipts like when I submit an online order. I don't have a printer but if I save the file on to my hard drive, I can always move it to a floppy or anything if I ever have the need to print it out for proof, etc.


unless you are visiting some jacked up site made in Microsoft Word where they don't use standard IMG tags this should work

thanks josh
thats exactly what i was trying to be able to do.......ive only been using computers for about a year now.....and theres a lot i dont know
is there a way to save a page, AND the links from it? when u 'make available offline' it gives you a choice of how many links deep you want to go....but i have yet been able to make a page available offline the way it suggests
