Offline viewing a web page

Postby mauricepnut » Sat 01 Jan, 2005 1:49 am

When I am browsing and I want to save one page of a site in order to open it again later, offline, how should I proceed?

If I just choose Save As from the File menu, I am given the choice of saving As Text or As Source. As Text saves only the text part, but not the images. As Source saves the page in HTML code. If I then try to open it in Netscape, the browser puts me online. That defeats the whole purpose: If I wanted to view that page online, I would have simply created a bookmark.

What I want is a way of saving a page in its original format, and view it later, possibly with Netscape, but Offline.
Thank you for your help.

You would need to upgrade to Netscape 7. Note that a minimum of 64 MB of RAM is needed. Download Netscape 7 from here:

http://ftp.netscape.com/pub/netscape7/e ... c-full.bin

Once you install Netscape 7, there will be a new option in the file...save as dialog. This option will let you save "HTML complete." Then when you want to go offline, choose File...Work Offline and doubleclick on the saved HTML file. Then you will be able to read it while offline.

Good luck! If you need more help, ask in the Netscape/Mozilla forum since the Communicator forum is pretty empty.
