IE Save Hot Key? Curly question!!

[Stubbo of Oz]

When I went to my finacial institute web site I used to be able to
save my list of transactions as an HTML file by using Internet
Explorer File-Save menu item

Now they have made the site "more secure" and no menu items are shown
at the top of the window and the right click context items have been
deactivated.

Querying my Financial Institute has provided NO help :-(

Using CTRL-N to open in a new window with menu items (which works at
some sites with no menu items) does not work at this site.

So the QUESTION is...

Is there some sort of hot key program that will let me save the web
page window as an HTML file?

I have tried the "Save Page" program from
http://www.k-free.co.uk/save-page.html
but it does not work - crashes on instal and no response from my email
to them.

Tried Googling but that was no help as hard to put an adequate
question into the search button.

Or maybe is there a bit of javascript I could paste into the address
bar to make IE open a save dialog box?

Hope this is not too much of a tough one!!

Change your financial institution if they won't help.

Using CTRL-N to open in a new window with menu items (which works at
some sites with no menu items) does not work at this site.

Can you print the page? If so print it to a text file.

You could turn javascript off which would disable the security
settings. Of course you might not see the page you want if you do
that.

Or you could use Firefox which may allow saving.

The easiest (for me) way I can think of is to access the site with a
program using MS's browser object and a "save" command button. But
that takes a compiler of some kind (VB, C#, etc. - some of which may
still be available for free download from Microsoft's site) - and the
knowledge to create a minimal program.

I seem to recall some javascript I saw once at a js download site that
keeps all the menubar buttons active in IE even when the site tells
the window to open without buttons. I can't recall the site, though.

Have you tried Firefox? Maybe one of the extensions will do what you
need.

Can you just highlight all the text on the screen, then use ctrl-C to
copy it? (That might be turned off too, though.)

One harmless idea is to try bookmarklets...they manipulate pages in
various ways.
google em or try

Long shot: have you tried delving into the Temp Internet File folder
and looking for the html file you want *before* closing IE? If you
find it, copy it to another folder and save it. This has worked for
me in the past with website pix etc where the context menu's inactive.

There's javascript that might work at
<http://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/zap.html#restore_context_menu>

If they'll let you in with Firefox, that's another option. Among its
options is the ability to stop sites from disabling the context menu.

Agreed. But note that searching TIF with Explorer is a pain. Explorer treats
certain folders (including TIF) as "special".

Better to use a command-line shell for this. "Command.com" or "cmd" works,
but you're stuck with the ~tilde~ abortion. Try cygwin shell instead. It's a
good "Unix-like shell on MS" suite of programs. I use it a lot. Very easy to
use for this purpose.

I have cygwin shell scripts that search the TIF folders for specified kinds
of files, and copy them to C:\temp for further handling. Easy stuff, and
very handy.

Indeed but you can easily access the TIF folder directly via:
Internet options/Settings/View files which opens the folder in
Explorer.

I actually use (bought & paid for) ZTreeWin file manager for all such
things. There's nowt better for accessing hidden Windows stuff

Have you considered "Print Screen" ? It won't give you HTML but it
will give you most/all of the info you want to keep. You can then
print it out and delete the file.

Thanks for all replies - I shall work thorugh them

Cheers .........

One last suggestion... I would hope they will let you print your
transactions. If they do, print them to a PDF with something like CutePDF.
I'm not sure if you want HTML for a reason or if any method is acceptable.
This way you'd have a PDF file of your transactions instead.

Once again thanks for all replies.

As someone suggested Firefox, I remembered I had Netscape and gave
that a try - and that DID allow a right click context menut that had a
"Save As" option so that is the way I will go.

BTW how does Firefox compare to Netscape?
