Can't Save Page

[Carl M. Thomas]

I occasionally have attempted to save a Webpage and after watching the
system go back to the well for files that I know are already on the system,
have gotten a "The Web page can't be saved to this location" or some such.
Sometimes, I can do a refresh and the page will save, implying it timed out,
but not often. Also, more often than not, I can extract them from the
cache. And most of those I have trouble with are Microsoft Web pages.

I have two questions:

1. What is happening that won't let a save happen?

2. Why does IE go back to the Web site for items already visible in the
cache?

This has been bugging me since the installation of IE6. Anybody have any
ideas?

TIA

Carl

This Web Page Could Not Be Saved
When you attempt to save a Web page using the Web Page, complete
(*.htm;*.html) or Web Archive, single file (*.mht) options in Internet
Explorer, you may receive the follow error message: Error Saving Web Page.
This Web page could not be saved.
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=235589 (i. e. 5, 6. 5/10/2003)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The probable cause is that the web page contains a link to a StyleSheet
which resides
on a different server than the one where the page is located. After some
recent
security update (MS02-023 Patch or later), Internet Explorer blocks access
to
StyleSheet code if the code is on a different domain/server.
This is why the page fails to be saved.

For more information about MS02-023, please see:
322928 MS02-023: Patch Available to Disable Frames in the Restricted Sites
Zone
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=322928

The following is an example:
=====================
1. Open the web site in Internet Explorer on a machine
where MS02-023 security patch or later (such as Internet Explorer 6 SP1) is
installed.

2. Select Internet Explorer File menu and select Save.
3. Leave 'Save as Type' to 'Web Page, complete (*.htm,*.html)

Before saving of the web page is complete, and error message appears:
"Error Saving Web Page: The Web page could not be saved to the selected
location".
You can click OK to close the message, but the page is not saved to disk.

If you do the same with for example everything
works perfectly.

ANALYSIS
========
The difference is that postimees.ee uses:
<ink rel="stylesheet"
href="http://194.204.30.64/postimees/styles/postimees.css">
and aflonbadet:
<LINK rel="stylesheet" type="TEXT/CSS"
href="http://www.aftonbladet.se/vss/sidhuvud/css/files/0,3590,bas,00.css">

194.204.30.64 is a different server than the current web page, while
www.aftonbladet.se is in the same sever.

To resolve the problem, you can inform the web site administrator to change
the StyleSheet location in the website.

Hmmm! I'll have to check that out. Thanks. That would account for part of
the problem. This going back to the site to save fresh retreivals is a
pain, though. I had one page time out because the junk couldn't be
retreived fast enough, even on a DSL line. Popular site I guess, or a slow
server. Since I had just viewed the page, I subsequently found everything
in the cache anyway, but with the silly numbers on each item.

Thanks again,

Carl
