UDF _IEAction "Saveas" issue

[phillip123adams]

Dale,

The _IEAction "saveas" option does not allow saving the "complete" html. It only saves the html file itself (no images).

Here's a script to demonstrate:

#include <IE.Au3>
$sURL1 = "http://www.AutoItScript.com"
$oIE = _IECreate($sURL1, 1, 1, 1, 0)
If $oIE <> 0 Then
  _IEAction($oIE, "saveas")
EndIf

1. Run the test script, and when the Saveas window opens check the contents of the "Save as type:" list. You will see two options, "HTML File (*.htm;*html)" and "Text File (*.txt)". While this may look okay, it is not.

2. Go ahead and save the page as html. Check the results. There will be the Html file, but no *_Files directory.

3. Manually do another Saveas by clicking File, Saveas. Check the "Save as type:" list and you will see four entries, one of which is "Webpage, complete (*htm;*html)" and another is "Webpage, HTML only (*.htm;*.html)". It appears that _IEAction performs the "HTML only" method.

Can something be done to include the "complete" option?

I'm using Internet Explorer v7.0.5730.11 in Windows XP SP2.

Unfortunately, no. I user document.execCommand("SaveAs") to do this and it works as you have noted. There are no other similar options to do this that I know of... searching found lots of people asking about this, but no solutions.

Unfortunately you'll need to resort to sending keystrokes.

Thanks Dale! Will do.
