User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; Q312461) Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10 When you "Save Page As" and then re-load the page, stuff created by <script> appears twice. For example, load the following page: ---------------------------------- <html> <body> <p>This is a test <p><script language=javascript> document.write(Date())</script> <p>Some more text ----------------------------------- Do "Save Page As" and then open the file that you saved. The date appears twice, because both the <script> and the old HTML generated by it are saved. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open a page with <script> that generates document content. (See example under "Details") 2.Do "Save Page As" menu command. 3.Open the file saved in step 2. Actual Results: Text generated by the <script> appears twice. Expected Results: Text generated by the <script> should appear once. Either the <script> should be saved, or the results of the script, but not both. Also happens in Mozilla 1.6. The same problem does NOT appear when you do "View Source". Perhaps user could set a preference telling whether to save the <script> or the results of the script.
>Perhaps user could set a preference telling whether to save the <script> or the >results of the script. that is, really, "web page, complete" vs "html only" in the filter dropdown of the file picker... web page, complete will, by design, save the entire dom, including the <script> as well as what it produced.
