Firefox plugin needed

Post by alex.barylski »

I just tried saving a web page to my desktop and then uploading that HTML file and it's resources to my server...but when I access the page some elements were not there. I assume this is because IE doesn't download images, etc which are declared in CSS sheets...bummer.

So ideally I would like to find a FF extension which does this...I only need a single page but *all* of it's dependencies...

Anyone know of anything? Preferably not a independent application I have to install...thus the FF request but I"ll listen to anything. :P

Some tricky with the Linux command wget will probably do this

For downloading the whole site:

Code: Select all

wget -v -r -nc --no-parent http://domain.com/page.html

When you say 'whole' site...do you mean just the page and it's dependencies, or literally the whole site? The latter of which could take foreve.

I don't want just the page as HTML thought...I need just one page and all it's resources/dependecies...

- CSS
- Images referenced in CSS
- JavaScript

And so on...thats why I thought a FF extension would be best...because it would work off a loaded DOM and be able to determine things like image paths for CSS images or images loaded during javascript onload, etc...

Cheers :)

I user Firebug too *high five*

Problem is, I don't really want to manually download files each time I see a web site layout I like and wish to test my integration with that specific design...

I think I'll just stick to downloaded templates :P

Hockey, why are you trying to gank someone's site? That seems a little crooked? If you want it and they are ok with letting you have their work, why not just ask them for it?

Thanks for the vote of confidence. :P

Basically...I'm testing how well my application integrates into existing designs...for purely aesthetic reasons I wanted a particular design...locally hosted so no one would ever know I yanked the files. Obviously when I release, I would purchase some templates (none of which I have found meet my desires) or hire a designer to crank a few designs out...but until that point...I'm just 'borrowing' the design - nothing more.

I've always used HTTrack to rip down pre-existing client sites as is prior to gaining control over their source. I've since 'switched' to SpiderZilla, which is simply just a firefox plugin that acts as a front-end to HTTrack...
