Summary:

Visitors can save a web page from a link

Description:

Visitors can save a web page from a link using this script. IE4+ browsers provide a document.execCommand that can call certain system dialogs. This script demonstrates calling the SaveAs dialog to save the page. The script includes onload interlocking and alternate alert messaging for non-IE browsers. Note that the script can only be used to save the current page; that is, the page in which the script is included.
