Hi
Just wondering what is the best way to view then save web pages so they can be viewed offline?
Thought this would be could for recipies etc and with the huge hard drives laptops now have space isn't really an issue.
Thanks Lyndon

Go to the toolbar at the top of yer screen Click on "File". Go down to "Save as". Click on that. A 'Save" box will then open up and you can then save the webpage as an HTML document and view at yer leisure.

Thanks Bilbo
Do you know what the size of the average page is? and i don't mean A4 :)
By doing what you described above, can you only save the page being currently viewed?

Lyndon,
Another way is to use a program such as HTTrack or WebRipper (both free) to download chunks of the website. They essentially create a copy of a website with live links, images, attached files etc. on your harddrive. They are not the easiest to use but very powerful. You can specify such things as the depth of links that will be copied, whether links to external sites should be included and whether images/attachments are downloaded. Each option will change the size of the resulting directory (which is the downloaded website) on your drive. The process can take a long time if you follow a lot of links/download images but if you're after only a few pages then it's very quick (you can start at any depth not just the home page).
Google the names for downloads.
