Re: Saving Web pages to disk

Interviewed by CNN on 29/3/2010 02:06, Robert Traynor told the world:
 Hi All,
 
 I am using SeaMonkey 2.0.3 and latest Java, noScript etc.
 I have disabled ALL AddOns.
 
 When I save a web page lately, a folder name_files is NOT
 created and all links remain pointing to the original web page.
 
 Is there something to adjust in preferences etc..?
 It did not used to do this, all was normal but I noticed this
 behaviour change about a week or so ago.
 

Look at the file type box in the bottom of the Save File As window.

1. If it says All Files, then you get the raw page source, that is,
the file will be strictly the same thing that Seamonkey received from
the web -- no modifications, no fixing the syntax, no redirecting of
images, no inserting comment about the original page URL.

2. If it says Web page, HTML only, then you get the HTML page after it
was fixed by the tag-soup parser.

3. If it says Web Page, Complete, then you get all images, scripts and
such in the subfolder you expected.

The difference between case 1 and 2 may not look obvious, but sometimes
it makes a lot of difference. For instance, Geocities used to tack
advertising code to the top and bottom of the pages the user uploaded,
in flagrant violation of the HTML standard -- the content came not only
outside the body element, it came outside the html element! But the
tag-soup parsers managed to make sense of this and rebuild a
somewhat-sane tree.

Of course, if you wanted to get the original page without the tacked-on
garbage, this reparsing actually made things more difficult, because it
mixed them all. Saving the page as All files made it far easier -- you
just had to strip the top and bottom of the file.

Seamonkey will remember the option you used last. So, if you
accidentally changed the option from Web page, all files to one of the
others, it will remain that way until you change it back.

Saving Web pages to disk

2010-03-28 Thread Robert Traynor

Hi All,

I am using SeaMonkey 2.0.3 and latest Java, noScript etc.
I have disabled ALL AddOns.

When I save a web page lately, a folder name_files is NOT
created and all links remain pointing to the original web page.

Is there something to adjust in preferences etc..?
It did not used to do this, all was normal but I noticed this
behaviour change about a week or so ago.

Suggestions very welcome.
