real_illusions Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 The documents will be looking for files that exist on the webserver, but dont exist on your computer. Stuff such as images, stylesheets and javascript files are not downloaded when you 'save file..' in a web browser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

real_illusions Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Download the entire website? If its something like Amazon or Ebay, then good luck, you'll need a big computer...With the number of dynamic sites and user based sites that are more or less everywhere nowadays that depends on databases and server side languages to deliver the content, chances are if you download an entire site, it either wont work properly, or it'll be out of date within a few hours or even minutes in some cases.The site's files (namely images, stylesheets and javascript scripts) will be stored in your cache unless caching is switched off in either your browser or by the site itself, so technically you have the files already, just stored in your browsers cache for quicker loading next time you load up that page, or another page on the site that uses those files.Anyway, its kinda pointless downloading a website to view offline, why store an out of date version on your computer, taking up space, when theres a much more upto date version that you can interact with already stored on the internet for the world to see?

thescientist Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 I'm guessing for some people, online access isn't always a 24/7 luxury, tough guy! I could understand the principle for trying to learn some HTML/CSS by saving the code and examining it, but as real_illusions points out, with ever-growing proportion of sites that serve a lot of their content dynamically, the potential learning experience will mostly hardly be worth the time to save an entire site's worth of documents, images, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synook Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 1) Download a PDF printer, I suggest http://www.bullzip.com/products/pdf/info.php.2) Print the pages to that printer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
