Good evening,

I remember many aeons ago, on a different PC/ laptop, I was able to view previously viewed web pages, off-line, that is to say, when no longer connected to the internet.

I am no longer able to do this, and would appreciate if someone could point me to the right direction in my settings to rectify this minor inconvenience.

Thanking you much in advance.

Depending on how much you want to view, you could save the source code on notepad as a html file?

Definately a very easy way of doing things, but it only saves the web page in question.

Back In the day, virtually all web pages were static HTML and images, which browsers could easily cache. Now, virtually all pages are dynamically generated and the expectation is that every time you load them, they could be different.

One option is to use something like httrack to rip down an entire site for viewing later.

suppose you could save as PDF using a program like PDFCreator - once installed click print & select PDF Creator - there you have it in read anytime PDF some sties you will lose some formatting others are very similar to what you see in a browser.
If using firefox there is an addon that lets you save the page with more than the basic content .. forget what it's called

If you use Firefox as a browser download an add on called scrapbook, you can save pages to scapbook and view off line. You can capture the page and the linked pages...Great add on used it last year when touring Europe all the details re places to go places to stay I did at home and viewed day by day off line.

I am dabbling in a little language learning/ practice on bbc.co.uk\languages

Much of the content is interactive - I presume I have no choice but to be connected (i.e. HAVE an internet connection) to re-listen to conversation clips?
