Problem in saving complete web pages

I am using IE version 6.0.2800.1106 under Windows 98 SE. I
get the following error message frequently while saving
complete web pages both in the '.htm' format as well as
the '.mht' format. Would appreciate any help.

Steve.
 
Sorry. I left out, inadvertantly, the following error
message in my first post.

"This web page could not be saved to the selected location"

It is said that the encoding for certain web pages causes this to happen;
something about how the page was written. I also recollect a comment made
which stated that even the suggestions I'm about to make will not "fix" it
due to these restraints.

IIRC (which I may not), when one wishes to save a page as you do and it
fails, look at the View menu>encoding> and select Western European (Windows)
or Western European (ISO). Should that fail, then try Auto-Select.

The last alternative is to save it in Favorites, and then cut (or copy; your
choice) and paste it into the folder or location of your choosing. Slow, and
a hassle, but I've not found any other way when the page is uncooperative.

HTH -
 
No mention is made -or none that I noticed- that this is acceptable for
W98/se unfortunately. Says IE6 naturally, but this seems to be an app for
W2000 or XP only. Too bad.
 
Steve,
Error Message: This Web Page Could Not Be Saved

Note: this can also occur when one or more files required to "save" the page
is being drawn from a 3rd party server.

The probable cause is that the web page contains a link to a StyleSheet
which resides
on a different server than the one where the page is located. After some
recent
security update (MS02-023 Patch or later), Internet Explorer blocks access
to
StyleSheet code if the code is on a different domain/server.
This is why the page fails to be saved.

For more information about MS02-023, please see:
322928 MS02-023: Patch Available to Disable Frames in the Restricted Sites
Zone
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=322928

The following is an example:
=====================
1. Open the web site in Internet Explorer on a machine
where MS02-023 security patch or later (such as Internet Explorer 6 SP1) is
installed.

2. Select Internet Explorer File menu and select Save.
3. Leave 'Save as Type' to 'Web Page, complete (*.htm,*.html)

Before saving of the web page is complete, and error message appears:
"Error Saving Web Page: The Web page could not be saved to the selected
location".
You can click OK to close the message, but the page is not saved to disk.

If you do the same with for example everything
works perfectly.

ANALYSIS
========
The difference is that postimees.ee uses:
<ink rel="stylesheet"
href="http://194.204.30.64/postimees/styles/postimees.css">
and aflonbadet:
<LINK rel="stylesheet" type="TEXT/CSS"
href="http://www.aftonbladet.se/vss/sidhuvud/css/files/0,3590,bas,00.css">

194.204.30.64 is a different server than the current web page, while
www.aftonbladet.se is in the same sever.

To resolve the problem, you can inform the web site administrator to change
the StyleSheet location in the website.
