I need to download an website, I have found some software to do this (backstreet Browser). I know very little about the backend of websited so how can I view the website from the downloaded folder as its dispalyed on the web? If I open Index.htm from the downloaded folder then the pictures dont display or the links dont work.

Would appreciate any help
 
If the site was badly coded the image links could have been hardcoded in the html. Have a quick look at the file and see if they are just /image/bla.jpg or www.dfgfdg.com/image/bla.jpg.

If it's not that then dunno! :D
 
Presumerably that is lifted straight from the html so therefore bad, basically now that you've downloaded the html you can just remove all the "http://www.xxxx.com" parts from the image links and they should display (if the images are in the right file tree structure).

:)
 
Its seems to be mainly in ASP, that backstreet browser software just rebuilt all the links once it finished downloading the sites so the pictures work but the menus dont. hmm have to contiune this one tomorrow as its very nearly home time :)
 
The technique used to be called 'webwhacking' or something, for downloading entire sites. iirc I've used a prog in the past called 'webwhacker'.
So do a search for those two terms and see if you can find a better piece of s/w that might make things easier.
