JavaScript

In your browser, when you want to save an HTML page that you are currently viewing, you normally go to the File menu and click Save As.

Can I have a little button at the bottom of an HTML page that does the same thing? So instead of going to the File menu -> Save As, I want my user to be able to click the button to save the page on to the disk.

There is a solution exists using Javascript as far as I know, but it only works for IE. See here: link text
