Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox

When you save a web page with "File/Save As" and chose to save it as "web page, complete", an html file is saved and the image files, javascript files and css files are saved in a folder. However, background image files referenced in css style sheets are not retrieved and saved. There's no reason why they shouldn't.

This is regarding the <td background=''> attribute.

I have a page I saved, from www.stomped.com as of today. using 12-27 build.. the
source has a <td background="images/trans.gif"> and Mozilla renders that
correctly. Now doing 'save page as', doesn't create a subdirectory of images
for example 'thedefaultsavedir'/www.stomped.com_files/images, and it doesn't
parse this tag attribute to retrieve the image: 'trans.gif' and save it to the:
'/www.stomped.com_files/images' subdirectory. 'Save page as' page source,
still outputs the default source tag as above, and when trying to access the
image upon viewing using open file > context menu > view background image, the
alert box shows it trying to access just 'thedefaultsavedir'/images/trans.gif.

There is also no doc type declared on this page.

Neither TABLE nor TD elements have a background attribute (in HTML 4.0) which is

As for inline/external styles with url declarations such as this:

  BODY {

I don't believe there is much that can be done until we have a way to serialize

Adam, we _do_ have such a way. The CSSOM should allow you to walk the

 Only for hacks and browser-specific properties. This is not a big deal. The same problem exists anyway for things like IE's conditional comments, or any kind of user-agent selectivity on the server, or indeed any other type of hack or browser-specific feature.

But obviously it's SO much better with the current situation that it works in no browsers at all!

Are you seriously more worried about browser-specific CSS features, which are probably expected to degrade gracefully anyway, than, oh I don't know, background-image!?

And you'd STILL need to rewrite the URLs. Come on, give it half a thimble of thought.

 Let's suppose for the sake of argument that we used IE's .mht format. It doesn't rewrite the URLs. Instead, each entry in the file is associated with its original URL. (What I don't know is whether it would be possible to achieve this scheme in Gecko.)

 Oh I see. Fair enough. But unless anyone thinks that the feature to save a web page as individually manipulable files should be completely removed, the bug is still not avoidable, and the URLs still need rewriting.

Modern pages have very big js files - 500kb or 1mb per page. I delete js files from folders of saved pages sometimes. And a lot of reasons to open folders of pages. And I will never use the browser with only archive format for save as.

Please don't add reasons not to use Gecko browsers. (Now I use SeaMonkey 1.1.19 as main browser only because of regression in save as function, which was developed by kind developers)) Bug 653522)

I use "Save As, Complete" to save pages complete to examine a source code. So I need a working local copy of the page, not just a package.

I agree with Emin, save the source as seen in view-source and rewrite urls to resources to a local folder next to the saved page. multiple request are definitely allowed. no reason to get any performance on this task as it is user invoked and the expectation is that the current document is saved as-is for various reasons, for later use. Not as firefox reads the document, nor as quickly as possible or to consume least space as possible - there is save document (not complete) for that.

Actually it's not enough. Complete save must save page as it is visible with all elements inserted by ajax (like comments) and if some elements are missing then they should remain missing (like advertisements with active adblock). Even all additional user CSS applied to the elements on the page must be preserved as-is.
Otherwise it is not complete.
I mean it have to crawl DOM and generate page from it instead of saving page's source with rewritten links.
I do agree there is no reason for fast performance but when you open such page it must resemble page which you have saved as much as possible. It could not be considered as complete if it will download anything from the web on open. Also I don't think preserving interactivity is expected behavior in this case. Users usually saves page to be able to read it later or send someone to read. So, it must be preserved as he seen it when decided to save it.

For investigation purposes there is separate applications like extension "DownThemAll!". You can configure how exactly it will save things and how deep will it go. It does even more then Emin requests. It not only makes local copy of the page - it could make local copy of the whole site or decent part of it.

Well, the example also does that. As does this: http://code.google.com/p/phantomjs/wiki/QuickStart#DOM_Manipulation but it might not be so clear.
This is the interesting bit:
var page = require('webpage').create(),
    url = 'http://lite.yelp.com/search?find_desc=pizza&find_loc=94040&find_submit=Search';

page.open(url, function (status) {

            return document.innerHTML; // <- get all generated and styled HTML
        });

There is a similar project for Gecko called offscreen but I can't see how it's possible to get the generated HTML with this though.

Consider how some browsers are closed source and written to the interests of their owners and how they implement either CSS or JS compared to the standards ... duh

On the other hand, I would strongly vote against such a method, one reason being the examination of various resource files related to a page.

I use an extension called Web Developer Toolbar. This extension has a neat feature called "view generated source". This contains all content generate/modified by JS as displayed. Based on this one could easily reference each resource file (image/css/etc) for saving.

Also, saving locally a webpage, in principle, does not imply that the entire webpage functionality will be preserved for the simple reason that some features require online interractivity with the source server, and this is impossible to replicate in a local save and offline viewing scenario.

Alternatively, we could do tokenization-level fixup, which actually might not be that bad, except it's a litte tricky for @import which takes strings in addition to url()s.

3. Parse all css/js files and replace URI's to local path.

So what?? If nobody has fixed it yet, it means it shouldn't be fixed??

I f***ing told you I DO observe these issues with a current version. It does not need to be a fresh install. It's upgraded through the official channels. If there were any difference between that and a fresh install, that would be a bug in itself. But I'm pretty sure it's not the case.

Why should I reopen a new report every time a new version is released if the bug is not fixed?? The original reports contains all the relevant information. You shouldn't have closed it without verifying that the issue was fixed (which it is not), and I have even verified again that it is not. So why waste time closing reports and opening new ones?
