Why can't I, I have no problems with other pages? I can't save that page either. Some pages can't be saved because of code on the page. -- Frank Saunders, MS-MVP, IE/OE Please respond in Newsgroup only.

Tried a different location. Why can't I, I have no problems with other pages? Depends on how you try to save it. Since it uses script or programming to generate web page content, a save of the page must not require retrieving content that doesn't exist on the page but is only presented via traffic to your browser. If you try to save that page as HTML then it fails. IE will attempt to retrieve all content on that page but it does NOT execute programs used in that page to retrieve all content. It retrieves stuff like pictures, text, tags, and other content that is actually in that page. Program-generated content is not *in* that page. When saving as HTML, IE yanks all the content and stores it locally and uses subdirectories to store stuff like copies of the image files. The "Web page, complete (*.htm,*.html)" tries to retrieve everything but will fail on program-generated content. First try using the .mht format (Microsoft's archival HTML format which doesn't use subdirectories to save some of the content). If that doesn't work, try saying as "Web page, HTML only". That will only retrieve the items that are actually in the web page without regards to program-generated content. That means the .html file you get won't contain that program-generated content. You'll see a difference between using "Web page, complete" (and "Web page, Archive") because a dialog window appears showing the progress of retrieving the content from the web page from the *server*. The "Web page, HTML only" saves the *local* copy of the web page as your browser rendered it (so you don't see the download progress dialog window). I'll provide a better example. Navigate to http://www.comcast.net/. They use Macromedia Flash for some of the content on their web page. If you save it as "Web page, Complete" or "Web page, Archive", a progress dialog appears showing the download of regenerated content. They local copy of that page will show similar to how the page displayed when you opened that site's web page (except the "layers" they used to add Flash content won't display, like the ads and site index on the leftside, when using "Web page, Complete" but they do appear if you use "Web page, Archive"). Now save it as "Web page, HTML only". No download progress window appears. When you open that local copy, the HTML still has the links to image files but there are no local copies of the image files so images don't display. The same for links to other other web pages. All links get changed to be a local reference (because you wanted a local copy of just the HTML in that web page), you only saved the HTML for *that* web page, so the links points to a local file that doesn't exist. Because the scripts or programs were not downloaded (they are called by the web page on the *server* and are not part of the web page), the links to them won't work, either. If you are interested in retrieving only the content of the current display web page then save using "Web page, HTML only" to save the local copy already displayed in your browser (realizing that links and images won't work). http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;235589 http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;296341 So pick a different save format to see if a different one will work. From IE's own help under the topic "Save a Web page on your computer": To save a Web page on your computer 1. On the File menu, click Save As. 2. Double-click the folder you want to save the page in. 3. In the File name box, type a name for the page. 4. In the Save as type box, select a file type. 5. Do one of the following: * To save all of the files needed to display this page, including graphics, frames, and style sheets, click Web Page, complete. This option saves each file in its original format. * To save all of the information needed to display this page in a single MIME-encoded file, click Web Archive. This option saves a snapshot of the current Web page. This option is available only if you have installed Outlook Express 5 or later. * To save just the current HTML page, click Web Page, HTML only. This option saves the information on the Web page, but it does not save the graphics, sounds, or other files. * To save just the text from the current Web page, click Text Only. This option saves the information on the Web page in straight text format. Notes - With Web Page, complete and Web Archive, you can view all of the Web page offline, without adding the page to your Favorites list and marking it for offline viewing. - When you choose Web Page, complete, only the current page is saved.
