1.script IE to open a web page 2.save locally as .mht 3.repeat I've done 1 and 3and I have an idea on how to do 2.
First, you need to have permissions to do this. One way is to sign your javascript/vbscript. The other, easier way is to make your web page an .hta (HTML Application) simply by changing the suffix from .htm. 1. is trvial if you pop up the web page in a separate window. 2. To Save locally, you need permissions, and then you can manipulate the open window by using the SendMessage function in vbscript. This function allows you to simulate keystrokes to ANY window (so if you had a window open to an AS400 terminal you could send keystrokes to that as well). You need to simulate ALT-F for "File", a for "Save As", etc, until you complete the save as mht operation. You may also need to program a manual delay between each keystroke to give IE a chance to process it. 3. 3 is just a loop. For examples of .hta applications, go to msdn.microsoft.com They have about 8 sample .hta applications. --- Aidan Whitehall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Does anyone know how to script IE to open a web > page, save it locally as > a .mht file and then repeat that for, say, 100 other > pages?
