lallous Paranoid (IV) Inmate From: Lebanon Insane since: May 2001	posted 07-17-2001 12:50 Hi! I wonder if I can save a page that have been changed w/ runtime and w/ user interaction?! like for example: code: for (i=0;i<10;i++) document.write(i); is it possible somehow to save that page with the content that was generated by this last loop?

CGI can let you save a file on the server, and you can use that to save data. Cookies let you save small amounts of data on the client's machine, provided they allow you to. Cookies are probably your best option here - but don't expect to save long text files.

lallous Paranoid (IV) Inmate From: Lebanon Insane since: May 2001	posted 07-18-2001 10:05 Guys you totally misunderstood me! The code i showed above was only to say that the "View Source" of the page is what i wrote, but the current displayed page is something else! I want to save the Page as it appears and not as it is written! I also mean that all what have been dynamically changed must be read from memory by the Browser and Reconstructed and written as HTML document. Hope you got me this time.

Hi!

I wonder if I can save a page that have been changed w/ runtime and w/ user interaction?!
like for example:

code:

for (i=0;i<10;i++)

document.write(i);

is it possible somehow to save that page with the content that was generated by this last loop?

One more simpler example:

code:

<html>

<head><title> New Document </title></head>

<script language="JavaScript">

<!--

  function resetdoc()

  {

    document.open();

    document.write('What\'s up doc?');

    document.close();

  }

//-->

</script>

<body onload="resetdoc()">

<h1>Hello world</h1>

</body>

</html>

If i save this HTML page the source must contain all the objects that are currently in the browser, which are:
the "Body" tag and it's childs and the "script" object.

That's what i want.
