Saving a web page that won`t

Legg inn av Gjest » 30 des 2005 05:53:04

Hello guys , Is there a ' work around ' for those few webpages that will
not ' save ' to your computer ? , As in getting a message after the
download / save has started saying
" this page could not be saved to that location "
I spent most of today searching for stuff to further my research in the
1400s in England , I found a page that has what I want , But can not save
it in any useable form
please and thanks , Phil ,

You could always try taking a screen shot - Alt-PrintScr. You can open
them in Paint and save as jpg etc. Not the most technical solution but it
works when all else fails!

The owner of the page could very well have a java script running on the

page preventing the saving of anything on the page to a viewer's
computer. Turn off java in your browser and try again. If your browser
won't run java scripts the site can't stop the download.

Try CTRL-A to select the whole page, CTRL-C to copy what you've selected,
and then open up your word processor and pasting the copy into it there and
then save it.

Another approach is to open your genealogy program, enter a fact for a given
individual, and then pasting the copy into your program's source citation
screen(s). You can do this with RootsMagic when you create a new source.
Once done, it's saved in your program and you can always call it up later
for future citations.

This is a good approach ONLY if what he wants is all on that screen. If, as

I suspect, there's more materal that he has to scroll down for, then this is
not so good.

Well, it's either the page doing it, or the location you're trying to
write to. First, try to save it somewhere you know you can save, like
right to the desktop. If that doesn't work, then yeah, they're doing
something creative. Most likely they're using javascript. Disable
javascript, visit the page, and then if you can get it, you should be
able to save it.

If not, then post a link and I'm sure a couple of us would love to dig
around and see what they're doing.

I couldn't get it to save in HTML, but it saved in text (but no
pictures) and also could save it to a Word document - In IE6 File >
Edit with Microsoft Office Word. Although, saving it to a Word file
only saves the page that you're on and not all the pages linked to it.
You'd have to save each page separately. Of course, in Word, you can
edit out all the extraneous stuff.

Try sending the page to yourself via e-mail, and then try printing and
saving. I've done this several times in the past with some success.

Good luck !

I hadn't said anything because I thought someone would have pointed out
by now that Firefox saves it just fine. That error only seems to happen
in MSIE.

John,

Actually, if you use Mozilla Firefox as a browser and have the "Screen
Grab!" extensions installed (as I do), you can grab multi-screen
screenshots of webpages and save them as a graphic file.

Also, I believe that the problem of the link he gives is that it is
"http://www.answers.com/counties%20england" instead of
"http://www.answers.com/counties/england". The page name is "england",
but if he is trying to save it as "counties%20england", his OS will not
let him save it properly with a forward slash ("%20") in the file name.

Sorry, %20 is a space not a slash. XP seems to accept % in a filename

though obviously neither a backward or forward slash.

Both "http://www.answers.com/counties%20england" and
"http://www.answers.com/counties/england" perform the same search and
take you to the same page.

I was able to save the page with no problem in Firefox. I saved it has a
web page complete to my desktop. It saves it in 2 parts. One as a file
called counties england.html and the other as a folder called counties
england_files. By clicking on the file, I get the entire page intact on my
browser.

This is a much better example and you can pay for a full licence by posting
