save as html

[FALCONSEYE]

i am a little bit confused on creating a button that will save the page.cfm as an html document to the user's disk? any help?

try this:

<cfsavecontent variable="HTML">
<cfinclude template="myfile.cfm">
</cfsavecontent>

<cffile action="WRITE" file="c:\test.html" output="#HTML#">

close,

but that saves it to the severs disk


<cfsavecontent variable="savetohtml">

<cfset x="this is a cf variable">

<cfoutput>#x#</cfoutput>

</cfsavecontent>

<cffile action="WRITE" file="c:\serverfolder\filename.html" output="#savetohtml#">

<cfcontent type="text/html" file="c:\serverfolder\filename.html">

thanks tho...

oh this a little different. mine is as if you go FILE -> SAVE AS ... -> and type something.html

it seems like yours save a variable instead

Yeah, I thought you wanted to create a file for the user to download.

I do this with several web sites to make html copies of all my invoices, so I don't have to rely on the db or cf logic to display a previously created invoice.
