274745 - Save As does not save page in original format

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 115328

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Marcelo Soffredi]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

I got this bug from another huge page. The problem is that when I click on Save
As option on my FireFox browser, the saved page is not the same as the original
one. I'm not talking about META tags or similar code that don't affect the page
result itself, but i'm talking about interpreted code by JavaScript functions,
like the ones written by document.write/writeln functions. The Save As function
saves both, the original code and the result, and as a result, when we check the
saved page, the page is duplicated in those contents written by javascript
sentences.

That happens also in Netscape (i know it is not Mozilla problem anymore) and
also in Mozilla browser.

Thanks for your work and products. 

Marcelo

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click on http://www.latinsecurity.com/panther103/bug.html with your FireFox
browser
2. Then go to your menu, File, Save Page As..., and save the file in your computer

Actual Results:  
Check the saved file with your FireFox, and you will not see the same result
(and code) as the one at original url. This is not a huge problem in short
pages, but it is in complex ones...


Expected Results:  
The saved page should be the same as original viewed. I don't care about the
code (but should be the same also), but i think we all care about the result.
Imagine that in a multitable page, with hundred of cells and code all over the
page dumplicated.

use "save as/HTMl only" and not as Web Page complete
