[Q] Saving web page as HTML? - HTC Sensation
Dolphin HD can save a web page as an HTML file, but it asks for the filename and supplies a poor default such as "index.html". I wish the default file name could be the title of the web page.
Are there any other browsers that can save a web page as HTML? I do not find this ability in the standard browser, FireFox, Skyfire, or Opera Mobile (unless I overlooked something). Opera Mobile does provide a save, but its in a proprietary format, not what I am looking for.

I think dolphin saves it with the actual filename of the page on the server and as index.html is generally what the web admins have it set to (it makes their life much easier)
By Title of Web Page, I am refering to the title shown to the user and found in the [TITLE] tag. That is how Safari saves a page on a mac.

Yes i thought that was what you meant but that's not what browsers do, they only read the actual file name
When a browser pulls a resource from a server to save it locally uses the name of the file in the server (index.html, contact.php, about.aspx or whatever) because that's how it is identified.
Index.html, index.php, default.aspx etc are the first pages a server serves when a browser sends a request.
The page title you see in the browser's tab is coded in the html markup and is mostly used to identify the page if you have several tabs open but is not the name of the file.

I understand all of that, but Safari on the Mac desktop actually DOES look at the TITLE tag to find a default file name when I save.
I checked the browsers and no, I didn't see a save option either. I suppose because being mobile builds they have to be lighter than the desktop counterparts. On desktop the standard behavior is the filename but some times a browser uses other convention.

opera google results, not taking me to the right page when clicking the link
as the title says, when i search on google in the built in opera, the browser does not direct me to the actual page, instead it takes me to google definition to the name I clicked on. its not eve displayed in english. anyone knows how to solve this?
Is that via the Google search bar in TouchFlo? That one takes you to stripped out versions of the web sites for mobile use and speed, which is annoying since Opera is fast enough already... If so then just use Opera to go to google.com and choose full HTML rather than mobile view, bookmark it/make it the homepage and search from there.
Opera Mobile 10 Thumbnail on Manila
With Opera Mobile 9 will automatically cravate favorite images after viewing the page you want. You can simulate something with Opera Mobile 10, since it is not supported?
You can manually add thumbnails to bookmarks on the internet page (I can't remember where they're stored - someone will be able to advise you), but it's a pain, and you can't add new shortcuts to bookmarks that you've made in Opera 10 - only 9.7 and IE. I personally got rid of the internet tab and just put Opera in the top row of my main page of quicklinks, so it's available from my home tab. Since it starts up with the "start grid" (unless configured otherwise), it's equally as good as the shortcuts on the opera tab. Just a suggestion.

Is there a way to fix the web snapshot for the Internet thumbnail section if you remove one from the windows/temp folder by mistake. Because now it won't take a thumbnail web snapshot if I add to visual bookmarks

i think i might have found a way...place your favourite in internet tab, then, in order to have thumbnails, open pocket internet explorer, go to favorites and open web pages (the one placed on internet tab) and let them full load. if you close pie at this point you can see thumbnails in internet tab, tap on them and they will be opened with setted default browser, opera 10 in this case

Click to collapse I think I figured it out about this bookmark thing. I have notice in opera 9.7 that the little symbol next to web address that looks like a box with lines in it is all mess up. Now I don't know what that symbol represents but I think by fixing this it will fix the problem.
Web Page View
Maybe its just old age but i thought i had read somewhere how to force the stock browser to load the regular web page, not the mobile page. ??? For example the Arizona Republic and hotmail automatically load in mobile view. Thats fine on my droid x but annoying on my TF...
Sure you can change the Browser to render pages is "Despktop" view. If you are on Android 3.1, open the Browser and go to Settings > Advanced > UserAgent String and select "Desktop". If you are on Android 3.0 then you must open the Browser and do the about:debug thing. But why would you still be on 3.0? Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
Thanks! That worked.

Recommendations for Printing to pdf?
I find I can print pdfs of web pages in Firefox and Dolphin HD, but there are no headers or footers with urls and page numbers like most printouts from a computer would have. Any suggestions? What other browsers have this capability? Are there any system print to pdf utilities that may allow creating pdfs from other applications as well as web browsers? Thanks in advance
Any suggestions?

Viewing PDF files in web browser windows?
At my work I use a web browser based online medical billing system to enter various types of client/patient data. Some of this data must be entered into PDF files that when opened on a Windows OS computer, open up a PDF in a web browser window. I then enter the data into the PDF and can save, as well as edit it in that window. Does anyone know if there is a way to enable such a feature using an Android web browser? So far I have tried just about all Android web browsers and have not been able to do this. Every time I attempt to do this using one of the Android web browsers the PDF file usually just is downloaded, yet it is a blank PDF with none of the previously entered data. I would love to be able to use my new Samsung Note 10.1 2014 edition for work, rather than my relatively large work laptop. Any help with this question would be most appreciated.
