Make available offline.

[B.W.]

I did not receive any replies to my post of the other day, so I asking again
for help if someone has an answer.

When I wish to make contents available offline I go in Favorites, Add to
Favorites and tick make available offline. The website is then
synchronized, but I am still unable to view any offline websites. Is there
another setting somewhere that is blocking this?

TIA

B.W.

Two possibilities are that the site is blocking the IE agent with its
robots.txt file or the content is all marked non-cacheable.
Provide a sample URL if you need a better explanation.

That is an obsolete feature which works well with fewer and fewer sites
as many switch to using dynamically constructed pages which are
marked non-cacheable. Originally IE4 didn't respect sites requests
that pages be treated as non-cacheable; since IE5 that has changed,
for the better for content providers, for the worse for end users.

If you want to make an offline copy of a page which is not dependent
on the such factors (or other aspects of using the TIF) you should
try using the File Save As... command.
