IExplorer Save as

[canberrasnag]

blnSuccess = IEObject.document.ExecCommand("SaveAS",false, "c:\testing\mine\table2.html")

execCommand Method

From everyting I read onthe net, this should work when all my security setting are set to minimum...
The saveAs dialog should automatically default to "Save".
But it doesn't.
Any ideas?
this is being run from a .vbs file

Hello canberrasng,

Second parameter won't deliver for "SaveAs" as least.

In the approach you're adapting, for simple html page, you can do it like this.

savefile="c:\testing\mine\table2.html"
surl="\\server\share\table2.html"    'any valid surl

set oie=createobject("internetexplorer.application")
oie.navigate surl
do while not oie.readystate<>4 : wscript.sleep : loop
s=oie.document.documentElement.outerHTML

set fso=createobject("scripting.filesystemobject")
set ofile=fso.createtextfile(savefile,true)
ofile.write s
ofile.close
set ofile=nothing

oie.visible=true
'wscript.echo "to quit"
'oie.quit
set oie=nothing

The info (such as textfile line break) irrelevant to html rendering is lost, with no regret though. As to the generic shortcomings, I let you to figure out.

Another approach with ie automation is to use msxmlhttp component. But that is another story. The above approach, if used judiciously and in appropriate situation, is perfectly valid.

Amendment:

Just to correct a slip:
[tt] do while [red]not[/red] oie.readystate<>4 : wscript.sleep[COLOR=red yellow] [/color]: loop
[/tt]should be read:
[tt] do while oie.readystate<>4 : wscript.sleep 50 : loop[/tt]
