Internet Explorer 5ish has a Save as, which saves the whole lot.

Then there are various programs that will spider a site and grab all the
files for you to have a local copy too....

If you're using fusebox and the date on the page is supplied via a variable
in the attributes scope, then you could probably change the date by
submitting a form which has a field that is the same as the variable for the
date to the page.  If the date is set up using cfparam and isn't checked
then potentially this could provide a route to forge the display.  Obviously
this would require a little insider knowledge or some luck at guessing the
name of the date  variable, but always possible if you've named the variable
sensibly!
