Capture and storage of html

Hello,

Our company needs to capture output presented to the user. Its a web app,
so we are looking into storing html in a datawarehouse. The problem is that
we would lose any css or external references if we ever changed them in
production down the road. Is there a better way to do this? A few other
options I was considering:

1. Taking an image of the data - jpeg, tiff etc...
2. Converting to pdf - size may get unwildy though

Has anybody implemented a solution for this. Is there a best way to capture
output in a way that doesn't take a lot of storage and can give an exact
rendering of how the data was displayed?

Thanks in Advance

Not sure I understand you, but isn't it better to store the *data* the
users have submitted rather than the rendered HTML pages?

Can anyone point me to resources relating to web based signature capture? I'm working on an ASP application that will be used on mobile tablet PCs. I need to add the ability for someone to sign their name on the screen and then have it converted to an image (.gif/.jpg/.png) for printng & storage. Is this even possible with a web application? Any suggestion greatly appreciated!

I am using regular expressions and a particular feature called "capture" (I think) to suck some information out of some html. I could have never come up with this myself but Balena has an example which is very similar to this. The guts of the program is ... Dim i As Integer Dim rgx As Regex Dim Pattern As String = "<td class=td1 width=""35%"">(<b>){0,1}(?<variable>(\w| )+)</td>" + _

I have been searching how to do sound capture (record audio input) in VB.NET for days now.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
