Save screen to a file

Ken
How do I use JavaScript to save a webpage (screen) to a file?

Perhaps a Mhtml?

Thanks for the help.

Use File -Save As or equivalent on your browser.

There is no general solution that will save the current web page to a
local file using javascript. There are browser-specific methods that
work in certain environments if configured appropriately, however all
the ones I know of present the Save As dialogue so are no better than
pressing Cmd + S (or equivalent).

There are also browser plug-ins or add-ons that will do the job
(again, they are browser-specific).

MHTML is poorly standardized. You could use a zip-file; that is always
offered with a "Save As"-dialog. It's also automatically unzipped on
recent Windows versions.

MHTML is poorly standardized.
It is well standardized but poorly implemented.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MHTML

Not here. Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; [...]; .NET
CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727)
It's also automatically unzipped on recent Windows versions.
So Windows XP SP2 is not recent?

Anyone who slaps a 'this page is best viewed with Browser X' label on
a Web page appears to be yearning for the bad old days, before the Web,
when you had very little chance of reading a document written on another
computer, another word processor, or another network. -- Tim Berners-Lee

MHTML is not well standardized at all. It isn't even a standard, only
a *proposed* standard. From your link:

| MHTML is a proposed standard, circulated in a revised
| edition in 1999 as RFC 2557.

Not here. *Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; [...]; .NET

Strange. How are zip-files from internet offered on your PC then ?
Automatically downloaded ? Automatically unzipped ? A suspicious
firewall ? etc.
>It's also automatically unzipped on recent Windows versions.

Windows XP and Vista are shipped with a default unzip utility on
board. This even goes back to ME and Plus!98:
