I would like to save a web page to a file and have the hyperlinks work
when I bring the file back up. If the web page has a hyperlink like the
following
<a href="OurWeb/News/abcFile.htm">, after saving the file and showing
it on the screen, and you try to click on the link, it will try to go
to C:\OurWeb\News\abcFile.htm instead of
www.MyWebSite.com/OurWeb/News/abcFile.htm.
If I am on the website www.MyWebSite.com, and do "File" - "Save As" and
under "Save as Type" select "Web Page, complete (*.htm,*.html)", it
will save the hyperlink as www.MyWebSite.com/OurWeb/News/abcFile.htm.

How can I programmatically do "File" - "Save As" and under "Save as
Type" select "Web Page, complete (*.htm,*.html)" ? Thank you.

This is how I save the web page:
WebBrowser1.ExecWB OLECMDID_SAVEAS, OLECMDEXECOPT_DONTPROMPTUSER,
"c:\abc.htm", null

OR

   Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
   Set filePtr = fs.CreateTextFile("c:\abc.htm", True)
   filePtr.WriteLine (WebBrowser1.Document.body.innerHTML)

Well in the pages. why dont you just set a base "href" at the top of each
HTML document

add this tag above body tag:

<base href="http://www.MyWebSite.com/">

that will then make all links and images on that site start
there.......unless previously defined.

Example 1:

This example will open a link from your computer to your website by default:
Notice i predefined the http://www. for every link and image.

<html>
<head>
<title>My Web Site</title>
</head>
<base href="http://www.MyWebSite.com/">
<body>
<a href="OurWeb/News/abcFile.htm">My Web Site</a>
</body>
</html>

Example 2:

This example will open a link from your computer to where ever you
determine:
Notice the http://www. in it?

<html>
<head>
<title>My Web Site</title>
</head>
<base href="http://www.MyWebSite.com/">
<body>
<a href=http://www.google.com>Google</a>
</body>
</html>

i dont think i worded this the best, hopefully you get what i mean. LOL.

Thank you.
The problem is, I am saving the file using either the following method:

WebBrowser1.ExecWB OLECMDID_SAVEAS, OLECMDEXECOPT_DONTPROMPTUSER,
"c:\abc.htm", null
OR
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set filePtr = fs.CreateTextFile("c:\abc.htm", True)
filePtr.WriteLine (WebBrowser1.Document.body.innerHTML)

Does it mean, that after I save the file, I need to alter it to include
<base href="http://www.MyWebSite.com/"> ?
Or, is there any way to save it with <base
href="http://www.MyWebSite.com/">
in it ?

Thanks again.

Use this to obtain the content of the web page you are saving:
http://www.aspfaq.com/show.asp?id=2173
and then Scripting.FileSystemObject to write the responsetext to a
file.
