    creating html preview

    I am trying to convert a site i have done previously in asp to something you can view from a cd. I was thinking of using a web browser control and am wondering how would i be able to create a file such as, c:\windows\temp\ or something like that.

    My plans are to transfer the .asp files into a vb program that will generate an html that i can view using a web browser control. My question is, where should i have the html file saved to? And how would i be able to save the file to that directory. Like, how would the program i'm making know to save it to that directory (this program will probably be used with all types of computers, from windows 98 - windows xp) and i would like it to be able to be saved to all operating systems.... thx, hope ya understand everything i'm saying.

    Problem with this is that the whole idea of asp pages are that they are dynamic i.e. get items from a database. To run asp pages you need a web server, more specifically IIS.
    You could save the HTML from the source once each page is generated but then its not dynamic. But HTML files are the only files you could stick on a CD. When we created a web site on a CD we just copied the entire directory. It doesn't matter where you put it, just point the web browser control at the start page and make sure all the links are local.
    Wind and waves resolves all problems.
