" Regardless of how you "save" a page, it's usually a good idea to save the URL from which you got it"

I've noticed that some good web page writers (or perhaps the server) will embed the url into the top of the web page.

Perhaps we are on different tracks JiK, but...

The following is an extract of a single traced item from a saved 'HTML only' save of my personal page - traced thread section - the broken brackets have been substituted to stop a 'freak-out' ("Your post contains a forbidden HTML tag") by the Mudcat posting engine in the HTML... :-)

{tr}{td width="280"}
{a href="http://www.mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=98530"}Transposing Chords and Keys{/a}{/td}
{td}{center}6{/center}{/td}
{td}{center}{font size="-1"}29 Jan 07 - 07:09 PM{/font} {/center}{/td}
{td align="right"}{a href="http://www.mudcat.org/deletetrace.cfm?Thread_ID=98530#tracer"}{center} {font size="-2"}DeTrace{/font}{/center}{/a}{/td}{/tr}

Seems to be everything you need there - if I save the saved html page I can open it in my browser and jump to or delete any mudcat thread I want.

[A long time personal gripe about the mudcat output is the large number of blank lines and other 'unnecessary stuff', but that's another matter :-)]
