There are three options to save the HTML from the "save as..." menu item in MSIE 5. I used the default one. My MSIE is in Swedish, so I'm not sure about the English terms. The default one is in retranslation from Swedish "Entire web page". That one was mangled. Now I've tried the other two as well: "Web Archive" seems to mangle the code similarily but even worse (oh, mama!), while the third one, "web page, HTML only" actually works (no tampering with the code). And then, as Sergey Ushakov pointed out, the best way is of course to "View source" and save that. That's what I use. However, the option to save "entire web page" is very useful for other purposes, since it automatically saves all images and other resources too - very convenient at times. ##################################################################### Bertilo Wennergren <http://purl.oclc.org/net/bertilo> <bertilow@chello.se> #####################################################################
