How to simiulate webpage in file on computer
OT?
I guess this question isn't as relevant as it used to be, now that Firefox has made it easy to insert text into a page at the same time one is calling it up, but it's an old question I had. I tried to do it once and failed: Like other people, I have several webpages I use all the time, like my bank, my credit card, google search. Because my DSL connection can be slow, it can take time for the screen, even without any fields filled in, to show up. Is it possible to write an html page and store it on my own computer, that will replace the one I call up from the web, after which I can enter data that I want the website to process, like search terms for google search, or userid and password for a bank? |

If your bank allows this I could change banks. Very bad security-wise. For google minimum code: form action="https://www.google.com/search" action="post" Search input name="q" /form -- Take care, Jonathan ------------------- LITTLE WORKS STUDIO http://www.LittleWorksStudio.com |

Bad idea. Very insecure. Your browser tries to cache some content locally, though. You could try the mobile page instead. -- Cheers, Carlos. |
