Re: Save ASPX page on client programmatically

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hello,

Yes, saving to the client's computer directly is quite impossible as it runs in a sandbox.
I think the only solution is sending a stream (document like pdf or something else) and the user can clic "save as" or "open".

Maybe you can change the behaviour if you users are authenticated. You can send it by email ?

Or you can format it in a printable version and put a "print" button (most of the websites do this + email).

Hi FreeNEasy,

As some other members have provided some suggestion about retrieving page's
content, for example, use javascript DOM api to get the innerHTML of page
body.

The problem here is save the content to a file on client-side file system.
Generally, browser based web page application has natural security
restrictions on accessing client user's local resource(such as file system,
network, registry ....). Therefore, the default client-script code can not
create , modify or delete any file on the client system. To do this, you
need to either use windows script or activeX component which can leverage
strong code to do those privilege operations, however, this require the
client user to allow such strong code be executed in webbrowser. For your
scenario, I think this seems not quite convenient since you need to ask
every client user to adjust their client browser security setting.

Do you think it possible that you simply use a button to popup a help page
that demonstrate the steps for saving the a page in browser?

Sincerely,

Steven Cheng
