Hi Voicebox,

Cheers for giving it a go.

This actually saves as a .txt file but includes the whole page not just the internal frame. I'm sure there's a way!

This is as far as I got, but IE just gives me an error "This web page could not be saved":

<HTML> 
<HEAD> 

&lt;script&gt; 
function saveAs(){ 
if (document.all) { 
var WebBrowser = '<OBJECT ID="WebBrowser1" WIDTH=0 HEIGHT=0 CLASSID="CLSID:8856F961-340A-11D0-A96B-00C04FD705A2"></OBJECT>'; 
document.ifr.document.write(WebBrowser);
document.ifr.document.write(document.theform.texta.value);
document.ifr.document.close();
document.ifr.document.all.WebBrowser1.ExecWB(4, 1); 
//WebBrowser1.outerHTML = ""; 
} 
} 

&lt;/script&gt; 

<HEAD> 
<BODY> 
<iframe name="ifr">
</iframe>
<FORM name="theform">
<textarea name="texta"></textarea>
<INPUT type="button" value="Save this page" onclick="saveAs(); return false"></FORM> 

<BR>Or<BR><BR><BR> 

<A href="save-this-page.htm" onclick="saveAs(); return false"> 
Save This Page</A> 
</FORM> 

</BODY> 
</HTML>

Hi Hugh,

Yeah, thanks, this is getting along the right lines.

If it's possible to do this, is it somehow possible to:

1) Save a specific "textarea" of a designated form, instead of the whole page? (ie: document.myform.mytextarea.value)

2) Put the name I want the file to be saved as in the pop up window with the extension ".txt" instead of .htm/.html?(instead of Untitled1.htm by default)

Yours hopefully,

Denise

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback. I will look into applets but what do you mean by "sign" an applet?

Sorry, there is no such thing in JavaScript or any language which comes from a web server, because of security reasons. You may want to write and sign a Java applet which does this (see http://developer.netscape.com/security/), but there is no other way to do this through a web page.
