    Resolved [RESOLVED] Reference Lost When Saving Web Page

    I do very little HTML so not sure whether this is a function of the Browser, a setting on my system or the HTML.

    Problem:

    When downloading a web page, images arrive and are placed in folder with extention "_files" but the directory embedded link reference in the html is different than the directory name where the web page was saved, so unable to show images when reviewing page off line.

    Example

    The HTML for the file shows the image at:

    src="/library/media/1033/windowsxp/images/using/more/fax_fig01.jpg"

    The web page was saved to directory (e.g. c:/thisdir) under the file name "thisfilename.htm". The save from Firefox created a directory of (c:/thisdir/thisfilename_files) and put all the webpage images, css, etc.
    into the correct supporting file and directory "c:/thisdir/thisfilename_files". However the
    embedded HTML directory link for the images did NOT get changed or removed during the save. Consequently, when bringing up the web page offline, no images are shown unless I manually edit the HTML to reflect the correct directory for the images.

    I find this occurs MOST (if not all) of the time, when downloading and saving ANY web page on my system using either IE or Firefox.
