saving current page in .mht format using execCommand

[theGeek]

Hi All,

I want to save the current page using javascript(in asp.net). Though I could find out that the "execCommand" can do that but the only options for file types that are available in the save as dialog include .htm,.html and .txt.

My problem here is how can I save the current page in .mht format using the same command?

Is this possible? If not how can I do that?

Please help!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't think it's possible using execCommand. It's also not JavaScript, but proprietary JScript.

You can save in .mht format from the File..Save As... menu.

Hi acoder,

Thanks for replying!

Is there any other way of saving the page in .mht(or just any supported format) using javascript, C# or any other language?

Cuz I would want to place a link on the page that opens in a popup window with all menus and bars disabled and that saves the page to user's disk.

Also, you said earlier "It's also not JavaScript, but proprietary JScript". Could you please explain that? Did you mean execCommand is not javascript and it is JScript?

Hoping for a positive reply(or atleast a ref :) )!!!
Thanks!!!

Even I'm looking for the same. Can we save the file as mht to retain the css formatting after saving...... Or is there any other means of acheiving it.....

Not with JavaScript, but you could try VB.

execCommand is supported by other browsers too, but not execCommand("saveas"...).

This won't be possible with JavaScript. You could try an ActiveX/vbscript solution.
