Introduction. And offline browser. [TopLink]

Using an offline browser is a fast way to download many web pages, or a whole website. Once downloaded the website can be viewed almost instantly anytime on or offline. And pages load much faster. Almost instantly since they are being loaded from the hard drive. Search download.com for "offline browser":
http://download.com
http://download.cnet.com

----------------------------------------------

Saving web pages in an HTML editor such as Kompozer. [TopLink]

This is the best way to save a web page intact. With all the images and with a working Table of Contents (TOC).

Just select and copy the web page or part of a web page that you want to save. Then paste it into a free web page editor such as Kompozer (do a Google search). Then save the page. The editor will allow you to save the images too.

This is a quick way to save images and a working TOC at the same time.

------------------------------------------------------------

SAVING a web page with MS Internet Explorer. [TopLink]

To save pages in the Microsoft Internet Explorer (MSIE) browser click the file menu, and then "save as" from the menu choices. Then click the arrowhead to the right side of the "save as type" drop-down list. There are 4 choices: HTML-only, complete .htm, text, .mht archive.

In MSIE one has to save a page as "Web Page, HTML only" in order to save the relative Quick Links intact so that they will open up pages saved in the same folder. This will also allow the TOC (Table of Contents) links to work correctly, too. Unfortunately, this method will not save the images at the same time. The images have to be saved separately to an "images" folder. This 2-step method is a good way, though, to reproduce part of a website for reloading onto other servers.

To quickly save the images at the same time as the web page then choose to save the web page as an .mht archive file.

This will NOT correctly save the TOC (Table of Contents) links correctly, though, since they will be converted to absolute URLs. The relative quick links are also converted to absolute URLs and will not work when offline. Even if the other pages are saved offline in the same folder.

This is the same problem that occurs when saving as a "complete" .htm page. It will save the images to a separate "_files" folder. It will also convert the relative links in the TOC (Table of Contents), and the relative quick links into absolute (long, full) URLs. This will prevent one from using the TOC to move around the web page offline. Nor will absolute URLs allow one to use the quick links to open other web pages you have saved offline from the same website.

You may need to shorten the filename of any web page you save. Otherwise the file may not open when double-clicked. This seems to be a problem sometimes when the filename extends past the right side of your monitor screen or past the right side of the "name" column.

---------------------------------------

What relative links are. [TopLink]

RELATIVE LINKS used in Quick Links boxes offline.

'Relative' links consist of just the short filename without the domain name. Some examples of relative URLs are sitemap.htm and index.html and so on.

'Offline' means when you are not connected to the internet. Links that use full URLs will not work offline. For the technical understanding of why relative links work offline, read up on relative links.

Quick links that use short, relative links can act as an "index" for a portable "book" offline.

Once a web page with a quick links box is correctly saved to a folder offline, clicking the quick links will open other World Drug War Website pages that have been correctly saved to the same folder on a hard drive, floppy disk, CD-ROM, or other storage medium.

This book folder can be passed around on floppy disks, or zipped and mailed as an email attachment, or moved to a different folder. Just make sure that in the same folder there is at least one web page with a quick links box that uses relative links.

You can even bookmark an offline quick links page to your favorites list for fast access.

----------------------------------------

Archive (.mht) vs. web page (.htm) [TopLink]

To summarize what was said previously in various sections:

If you want a single file that has both the web page and the images, then save the web page as an .mht archive file. This can only be done from the Microsoft Internet Explorer browser. This single file is good for attaching to email too.

A problem is that all the relative links are converted to absolute URLs and will not work offline (even if you saved other web pages to the same folder). So the quick links and the Table of Contents links will not work offline.

The quick links on the .mht page will work if you are online at the same time as you click the quick link. Because those links have been converted to absolute, full URLs and will take you back to the original web pages online.

The problem with .mht files though is that one can't share them with people who only use other browsers, such as Firefox.

--------------------------------------------

Saving IMAGES in web pages. [TopLink]

In Microsoft Internet Explorer (MSIE) browser you can save web pages with or without the images.

With MS Internet Explorer browser "save as" options the images can only be saved as part of a "Web Archive, single file" (.mht), or as part of a complete web page (.htm) "Web Page, complete."

Saving as "Web Page, HTML only" will save the web page without the images.

Saving as "Web Page, complete" will save the web page in 2 parts: A file and a folder. The web page filename ends with ".htm" - and the images are in a separate folder that ends with "_files"

Saving as "Web Archive, single file" will save the images and the web page in one single file that ends with ".mht"

Just remember that saving as "Web Page, HTML only" is the only way in the MS Internet Explorer browser to save relative (short) URLs such as TOC (Table of Contents) links and Quick Links so that they can work offline.

--------------

With MSIE you can save almost any individual image you see on a web page by right-clicking it, and then clicking "copy" or "Save Target As." If you clicked "copy," then just click in any directory folder on your hard drive, and then click "paste" from the edit menu. The filename for the image will show up there. Double-click the filename to see the image.

There are html editing programs such as FrontPage that give you many more options for how to save web pages, images, etc..

For those with more web page editing experience, they should know that all the images on this website are stored in an "images" folder. So all the images one finds in the "_file" folders (from "Web Page, complete" saves) can be transferred to one "images" folder and then that folder can be placed in the same folder with all the web pages from the site. Then any web page saved with relative links will pull up all its images from that images folder.

--------------------------------------

Using Yahoo Mail to copy and send web pages, or parts of web pages. [TopLink]

With the "color and graphics" compose mail form of Yahoo Mail one can copy and paste a web page, or part of a web page, directly into the form. Then email it. It is as simple as that.

The mail will arrive as HTML mail which is opened automatically in most people's email. Usually not necessary for the recipient to open an attachment.

All the relative URLs are converted to absolute full URLs. So Table of Contents links will not work offline.

All the links will work online though. Since you will be sent to the original web pages.

Images will not show up offline. And some will not show up online if the server that holds the image does not allow remote loading.

Steal this web site. [TopLink]

How to save web pages. How to create a clickable digital book in a folder. How to pass it on. How to mirror these web pages.

Feel free to mirror parts of the site, or the whole website. These web pages can be mirrored on web servers anywhere by anybody. Just be sure to store the web pages in the same folder on the web host. This is because nearly every web page on the website has a Quick Links box. The QUICK LINKS that use RELATIVE LINKS are set up to open up website pages that are stored within the same folder.

Use the same filenames, though, or the quick links will not work. The relative URL filenames such as index.html, sitemap.htm, charts.htm, etc..

This way any quick links boxes using relative URLs can act as a site index, whether the quick links are clicked while online or offline. To summarize: Quick links only work offline for pages saved offline as web pages (.htm extension) in the same folder-directory.

*Quick Links to World Drug War Website pages:

You can have a portable book in a folder. You can even pass the book on. You can copy or backup the folder to a floppy disk. Or you can you can pass it on as a zipped email attachment.

There are some interesting features that occur if you save several of the site web pages into one folder on your hard drive. When offline you can use the relative links box to get to other web pages saved in your hard drive folder or floppy disk folder or CD-ROM folder, etc..

There are many uses of site pages, or parts of site pages, or graphics, or your own pages, etc.. Be creative.

Create your own web pages. Integrate parts of these web pages in them. Whatever you want. Upload the pages to a free web host, or a paid web host, or whatever. Then submit the URLs of the web pages to search engines.

Submit your home page web address URL to Google:
http://www.google.com/addurl
Google will then index all the pages on your site.

-------------------------------------------

Mirror pages. [TopLink]

There are mirror copies of all the web pages. Mirror copies exist on several web hosts. The web address URLs for some of the mirror pages are after the title at the top of each page. The homepage and sitemap boxes on nearly every site page have all the mirror page URLs for the homepage and sitemap mirrors. Once one is viewing a page on any mirror URL, then one can use the quick links on that page to get to other pages on that mirror site.

The latest revision of any web page can be on any of the mirror pages. Check the revision dates on mirror pages now and then. Anything can happen. Uploading capability to any particular web host can break down at anytime for any length of time. The revision date for any particular web page is listed after the title at the top of the page.

You can upload these website pages to other web hosts. If you also upload a quick links box or page, then it will act as a sitemap for the new uploaded web pages. Feel free to use and adapt any or all parts of the web pages and the quick links boxes.
