Hi all
We had a requirement to export links to html. to acheive that we are showing the links as html in a popup and user has to do "save as" from the browser. The saved html will look like this.

but in IE there is an option Web Archive(mht) format also along with html. if users saves the html as mht format the html in it very different than normal. like
the problem is: we even had import functionality also which should take the exported links html and read the file and add to datbase. since the user saved the file in mht format. the program is reading link as 3Dlink1 etc.
how to make the browser not show mht format in the "save as" dialog. or do i have to make the import take mht formats also. does anybody gone through this situation?
Please advise.

Vijaya,

Sorry, but as far as I can tell, it is not possible for a web application to do that kind of change in the browser window (for security reasons). There might be a way - perhaps you'd get more luck in a web development forum.

No, it's not possible to change the save options. Why not just tell the user not to save in mht format?

Moving to our web forum.

in IE7 the mht format is default in the save dialog box. i think it may be annoying to user to select another format everytime they save.
is there a way to read mht file and get the content. I have seen "Chilkat java MHT library" in my google search. has anyone tried this library before?

There is no way to hide it

You need to make your code smart enough when it is imported to say that the format is wrong. I am sure some reg exp can tell you that.

Have you tried to use the header



Eric
