saving a webpage

[JoeM]

I have seen this several times now. When I go to a webpage and try to save
it, i get a message that says "This page can not be save". I have used
several other browsers besides IE and still get this message. Tested on
Netscrape 7, & firefox 1.03. There must be some code that is stopping this.
If anyone knows this code, could I see it?

Show us one.
Do you mean disabling Right Click?

 

[JoeM]

No, file save as. Will go and find the site.

I under stand right click, but that is not what I saw. When using IE or
Firefox, or netscape, when I go to file save as, it starts downloading the
pages but at the end it says "this page can not be saved", and no files are
stored in the folder i specified. I know the files, pictures, html files,
etc are stored in a temp folder, but I just wanted to know how some of these
sites are stoppong the file save as command. I lost the site that had done
it, will have to look for it again, and repost.

You need to provide a URL of this site.

I don't know about NN 7 or Firefox, but the behavior you are reporting
frequently occurs in IE when your browser cache is set to a large file size
and is full. By default usually the setting is 10% of the drive but with the
size of today's hard drives it can cause the problem you are reporting or
causing the 'save' option to be grayed out.

Try Control Panel | Internet Options | General Tab | Settings Then change
the amount of space to something under 100mg. I like 50-70mg. Then empty
your cache by using the Delete Files button. (Deleting cookies is optional).

Then go back to a page displaying the problem with and see if you can save
the file now.

Otherwise, like Thomas requested you will need to provide a url to a page
displaying the problem.

I have the following settings in IE:
"Check for newer versions of stored pages: NEVER"
Temporary Folder "1m"
History days: "0"

In FF and Nescrape 7 it does not give you an error it just downloads
pictures and no html.
I still need to find the website.

 

[Cheryl D Wise]

I'd recommend at least 20 mg on the temp file size and if you want to avoid
cachine use
Check for newer versions of stored pages:
Every visit to the page.

A url of a problem page would be much easier to see if it is your settings
or something else.
