How to save an LQ page after pressing button 'Click here to find similar threads".


linux kernel 2.6, GNU, slackware 12.0
KDE 3.5.7

Hi:
When I click it, a window opens but I loose the menu bar. I click on a post in this window, and the same happens. So, if I want to save the page, I have no way to do it. Any hint would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

I have the following option in Opera: Allow script to hide address bar, which is ON by default. Turn it off and your (browser) menu bar will not disappear.

Any decent browser should have this option.

Hope this helps.

I don't have Opera. I'll see if I can do the same in Mozilla firefox, Seamonky or the KDE browser, which are the only ones I have. I think that I'll switch over to Gnome. I'm a little tired of KDE. Thanks a lot and cheers.

Hi,

Look for the Javascript options in your (site-)preferences, one of those options should do the trick.

Maybe this is just informational, but you do understand that kde/gnome isn't the problem here, your browser settings are.

Those java script options, are they in the Control Center (KDE)?

Hi,

They are part of your browser settings, not KDE (maybe the KDE browser could be set from here, I truly don't know)

Start your browser, look for the preferences (or similar) tab and the look for the javascript options (part of the Content tab?). I'm not using firefox or Seamonky so I cannot point you to the exact location....

Hope this helps.

I've found a provisional solution: ctrl-S. Thanks again.

I found this: in Mozilla Firefox:

Edit>Preferences>Content there are four items:
Block pop-up windows
Load images automatically
Enable JavaScript
Enable Java

The four of then checked.

Besides, in the same window (Advanced):
Advanced javaScript Settings:
Allow scripts to:

Move or resize existing windows: checked
Raise or lower windows: unchecked
Disable or replace context menus: I unchecked it.
Hide the status bar: unchecked
Change status bar text: unchecked.

But still the same!

When you start a new thread, this button is just below the subject title you fill in.

Aah, I see. I don't think I've ever started a thread so I wouldn't have seen it.

I agree it is javascript related. The page source is
Code:
<input class="button" value="Click Here to Find Similar Threads" onclick="window.open('findsimilar.php?title='+document.getElementById('threadtitle').value,'similarthreads','width=600,height=300,toolbar=0,location=0menubar=0');" type="button">
where the relevant code is toolbar=0,location=0menubar=0' (which is a bit untidy IMHO).

You could always open the desired link in a new window by right clicking I guess, or use Ctrl+s as you already established.

Quite so.
This doesn't mean I claim to know everything (as some seem to think), just that when I get a problem, I work it out myself, then I'm in a position to help others do the same.

That's why my answers may not always offer pre-packaged solutions, but instead offer a method of discovering the solution. This way people learn by doing, rather than learning nothing by copying others.

Also, I'm often surprised by how many other seemingly unrelated things I learn when researching a specific issue, which I would never have discovered by getting a specific answer from a forum post.

The same did I when I had no internet. I had a linux bootable from window$ I managed to make it boot from the BIOS. But in linux, the lack of organization of the documentation and my little experience make me feel quite lost.
