That's probably too heavy-handed for most people most of the time. Without JavaScript enabled, many Web sites are quite hobbled. The JavaScript code usually just intercepts keyboard equivalents (something I find onerous, to be sure), but it cannot alter the actions associated with menu commands, so by simply selecting the "Save Page As..." command from the "File" menu the original functionality is still available. Like it or not, the Web as we now know it requires JavaScript-enabled browsers. Without JavaScript, we're back to the Web as it was experienced in the '90s and early 2000s. Much is still possible, but much is a not and what remains is a lot more clunky.

true, but his question was to observe 'saved' pages w/o going off-line and disabling java-script will accomplish that to 'observe that saved page'. I was not proposing doing w/o java-script.

Your statement was unconditional and uncontextualized. Nothing was read into it, it is what it is. Nor is it the only prescription for solving the OP's problem. RRS -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

True, a single problem was presented and a solution posed.

If you say so.

It's also true that simply using the menu is much simpler than digging into the preferences to disable JavaScript. RRS -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

and again, the method of disabling java-script was not presented. Simplicity is arguable, but not so in the case of someone not aware of the existance and location of the necessary files. I did not propose editing the rc/conf files by hand. Why are you trying to "read something into" a simple statement? <quote>

But you can.

I believe, the firefox NoScript extension could also help you with this. Kind regards Eberhard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
