And nothing's lost then if the site were to cease to exist? I (mistakenly?) thought that when I right-click on a web-page, select "save as" (using a pc), that this was merely saving the address. So what I'm saving is the page itself? and one could then open that page and not even be connected to the internet because it's on my local drive?
I tried that and that seems to be the case...if so, then cool!
A quick example on a Windows PC:
* On the web page, <right click><Save as...>.
* Save as type: <Webpage, Complete>.
* Choose the destination on your chosen hard drive.
Now, to view the page offline, and to prove to yourself you actually are and not pulling the page from the internet:
* Disconnect your network. Either disable your wireless network connection, and/or pull the ethernet network cable from your PC>
* Locate where you saved your "Webpage, Complete" data.
* In a file manager application, double-click on file "index.html".
Your copy of the complete web page will be rendered in your default browser.
