Joel, Curt
I think from Curt's message I need to explain the problem further.
The user can save the page via the IE Save As and later connect to the
intranet, modify it and submit it. I have had this working for some time.
However, the issue is that the user wants to save the page via IE Save As,
open the page in IE while disconnected, modify it, save the changes to the
text areas back to the local drive, then submit it at some later point in
time.
As indicated in Joel's message IE does not save the changes to the text
areas, or any other controls for that matter, when the user resaves the
document to the local drive.
I think the solution may be one of the following:
1) find some kind of off-line html form editor which will actually resave
the HTML with the modifications but saving the user from having to modify
the html directly via notepad
2) somehow use javascript to actually read the text in the text areas and
modify it's own html accordingly
But to be honest I'm not sure if either of these solutions is possible.
Thanks for you help thus far. Please let me know if you have any further
thoughts.
Regards,
Brent Claxton
