Internet Explorer Does Not Save .htc File Referenced on HTML Page (269492)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 for Windows 98 Second Edition
  • the operating system: Microsoft Windows 2000
This article was previously published under Q269492

SYMPTOMS

When you save an HTML page in Internet Explorer, referenced .htc files are not saved.

CAUSE

When you save the file, Internet Explorer puts the following headers in the HTML page:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<!-- saved from url=(0031)http://server/test.htm -->

If you access the file locally, you receive an "Access Denied" error message

WORKAROUND

To work around this behavior, remove the inserted header and save the .htc file locally.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
