Saving a page with a button

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jan 26.2006

Hello,
I have a very simple question.

An HTML page has been populated at the client side.I want a user be able to save all of its contents on the client machine. I know that this action can be done by clicking the IE menu File/Save As. However, I would like my user to click a button on the HTML page to save the contents of the displayed HTML page as a local HTML file.

Is there any possibility to do this?
For information, my pages are generated by a cgi script in tcl.

Moreover it would be wondefull if there were a mean to precise the initial dir to save the page.

Thanks a lot for future answers.

Might be easier to throw-in a javascript Print This Page button -

then provide alternate css styles for tidy layout results.

Good luck,

@KakooauthorJan 27.2006 — Thanks but i just found an easy solution on another forum.

For information it is putting this in body:

<input name="Save" type="button" value="Save" onClick="javascript:document.execCommand('SaveAs','true','c:myHtmlDirectorymyHtmlSavedPage.htm')">
×

Success!
