Save As Web Page not working

G

Guest

I am trying to save a company's on-line Knowledge Base article as an .html
file. I click File > Save As, then select a file type (I have tried all of
them). The Save Web Page dialog appears and the progress bar advances. Just
before it gets to 100%, I get the following error message: "The web page
could not be saved to the selected location." I have tried several different
locations (including the Desktop) without success.
Note: The company's web site requires a security log-in so any URL that I
supply will only take you to a log-in screen.
I would appreciate any assistance you can give.
IE Version 6.0 SP1
Windows 2000 Professional

Thank you.

Hi,
Try clearing Temporary Internet Files. (Internet Options> General.)

Can you view the source code of the page? (IE> View> Source)

Hi Don,
I tried clearing Temporary Internet Files and got the same error.
I can view the source code. I see that it contains Javascript - could that
be the problem? Excerpt below:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Only the operator's extension is seen after transferring over IP
trunk</TITLE><link rel="STYLESHEET" type="text/css"
href="http://www.ebiz.mitel.com/Extranet/images/stylesheet.css">
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
// To open a new window
var newWindow
function openNewWindow( url, title ) {
if (!newWindow || newWindow.closed) {
var its_ie = false
var user_agent = navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase()
var window_width = 380
var window_height = 340
var window_left = (screen.availWidth / 2) - (window_width / 2)
var window_top = (screen.availHeight / 2) - (window_height / 2)

//This is commented out for now as we were having problems with the modal
dialog.
//Now the dialog will always be opened as modeless, whether the browser is
IE or not.
//if (user_agent.indexOf("msie") != -1) (its_ie = true)

if (its_ie)
{
var window_dimensions = "dialogheight: " + window_height + "px; " +
"dialogwidth: " + window_width + "px; " +
"dialogleft: " + window_left + "px; " +
"dialogtop: " + window_top + "px"
newWindow=window.showModalDialog( url, "", window_dimensions)
}
else
{
var window_dimensions = "height=" + window_height +
",width=" + window_width +
",left=" + window_left +
",top=" + window_top
newWindow=window.open( url, title, window_dimensions)
}

if (!newWindow.opener) {
newWindow.opener=window
}
} else {
newWindow.focus()
}
}
// -->
</SCRIPT>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
document._domino_target = "_self";
function _doClick(v, o, t) {
var
url="/prodsupp/prodsupkb.nsf/byauthor/dfb73e2b2746126685256f1e007eac00?OpenDocument&Click=" + v;
if (o.href != null)
o.href = url;
else {
if (t == null)
t = document._domino_target;
window.open(url, t);
}

}
// -->
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY TEXT="000000" BGCOLOR="FFFFFF">

(deleted html)

<</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Thanks for your help,
Debbie

Hi,
It's a long shot, but try... in Internet Options> Advanced> Security>
uncheck "Do not save encrypted pages to disk."

Otherwise, the workaround is to View Source, then copy and paste the source
code into a text document. Rename it from whatever.txt to whatever.htm.
The page should be savable (except for images.)

Someone knowledgeable about CSS may have another idea or explanation.
