Yes I know I can do this, but that's slow and tedious: I'd have to do this for every single JS file, CSS file, foreground *AND* background image, one by one. Then I'd have to alter every single file one by one to cater for having rearranged all the files into a single folder, or recreate the file structure on disc. All domain and root relative URLs must be altered regardless. That would be stupid. Most browsers have a mechanism for saving an intact copy of a page, complete with all files, but all those I have in Windows are broken. IE appears to be the best, but chokes on 404s (Martin's page had two missing stylesheets), Firefox has no clue what the frak url() means when saving pages, and Opera doesn't understand how to adjust url() values -- when rewriting the HTML and CSS it screws up all the url() URIs so that they won't resolve at runtime (such as having mypage_files/style.css reference "url(mypage_files/foo.png)" which as you know, won't resolve: the image URL is in the same folder as the CSS). > If you are doing this on the legit can't they just give you the files? Because everyone on this list posts their test pages on the Web, without a zip file. They, too, would have to rebuild all the files to work from a convenient location on your hard drive without any domain or root relative URIs or deep folder structure. > You have no idea what includes are what and where scripts are etc. I may not know without a lot of digging, but the BROWSER knows. The page, and all CSS and JavaScript files, are OPEN in the browser. It knows, but I want a copy saved, to my hard drive, as it sees them. I think IE is the only program so far to do it right, as long as there are no 404s. For Martin's Delta Chi page, I've saved it in both Opera and Firefox, renamed the files and merged the two folders of files, and corrected all of Opera's broken CSS edits. Now I have a working copy. Trouble is, one of the flaws of the page within IE went away when I did that. Oops.
