Allow Users To Save Your Page To Their Hard Drive
IE4+ browsers have a function that allows you to call the SaveAs dialog to save a web page. The following script includes an alternate alert message for non-IE browsers.

Paste the following script in the head of of your document.

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
var isReady = false;
function doSaveAs(){
if (document.execCommand){
if (isReady){document.execCommand("SaveAs");}
}else{
alert('Feature available only in Internet Exlorer 4.0 and later.');
}
}
//-->
</script>

Include the following onload event call in the body tag. This stops the page being saved until it is fully loaded.

<body onload="isReady=true">

To call the script from the page and activate the SaveAs dialog, insert a link in the page like this:

<a href="javascript:doSaveAs()"> Click Here To Save This Page </a>

Show users where on your site they currently located.

Example:

The results you get from a page on your hard drive will obviously be different to those from your web site.

Insert the following code in the body of each document where you want the information to appear. No code changes are necessary.

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
thePath = '';
loc = '' +location.href;
paths = loc.substring(7).split('/');
for (i=0, n=paths.length;i<n;i++)
thePath += '> ' + paths[i] + ' ';
document.write('<font color="#ff0000"><b>You are here: ' +
thePath.substring(1)+'</b></font>');
//-->
</script>

Default Statusbar Message.

<BODY OnLoad="window.defaultStatus='Put Your Message Here!';">
