Can't save in XP/IE6

This is getting ridiculous. Is there ANY way to save your
changes if
you use XP and IE6? (And before everyone starts clamoring
for me to
use Firefox, it's *not* an option at work). I can edit like
crazy but
the Save to Disk doesn't seem to work at all. (And yes, I
downloaded
the latest version today, hoping this had been fixed.)

I couldn't save changes before, I still can't, and from the
looks of
things, no one has an answer to this problem, because I see
this
question posted elsewhere but never see a solution. Any
takers? Or has
everyone just given up?

When you download a file from the 'net, Windows marks it as
'blocked' (for security) and keeps it in the more
restricted
"internet" zone instead of the "local
computer" zone, which usually
allows file I/O permissions to be granted.

Try this:
Go to the "properties" dialog for the file you
downloaded.   If it has
an "unblock" button... push it...  then try
reloading the document in
IE6.... you might have to clear your browser cache...

AND *run* from a USB

and, of
course, the FireFox program itself, are all kept on the USB

there's nothing to install, and you can use it at work and
never leave
any trace of it on your work system!

Hi Kathy,

Have you ever tried the method which is described at
http:
//www.tiddlywiki.com/#ServicePack2Problems ? I usually
simply
change the file extension of .html to .hta and that allows
my to save
changes at my working place. Though then you don't have all
the
browsers button, but that you anyway don't need for
TiddlyWiki.

Hope this trick helps you too.

Did all that. So I say again, "There's no 'Unblock'
button." I right-
click, I choose Properties, I get exactly 1 button, and it's
an option
to change which application opens the file.

So then the short answer appears to be "it can't save
in IE6 with
XPsp2 and it's not fixable" Having to run another
browser app just to
use an HTML file is not really a solution. (And yes, I know
about
PortableApps, but I was trying to keep from bloating up my
USB stick
with another app I don't otherwise need.) It's a shame, too.
I wanted
to be able to use this and I kept hoping there was a fix for
it rather
than a workaround.

Thanks anyway, though.

But that wouldn't help in my case either, because at my
working
computer all access to discs and USB is disabled :-(

Lucky you, if I could I would instantly use FF from an USB
stick on my
working place - and not only because of TW.

Okay, same answer as before: There isn't an
"Unblock" button/link/icon/
widget on the Properties tab.

Tried changing the file extention, too. WinXP didn't
recognize what
app *.hta is associated with. So I associated the file,
created a test
tiddler, hit Close, hit Save To Disk - and got a javascript
error on
Line 4829.

Thanks, though.

The only way I could change the extension at my working
space was by
opening it in notepad and saving it from there, because even
access to
file extensions is prohibited at my place :-(

And then I didn't associate it with IE, but only double
clicked and it
opens in a mshta.exe - don't know exactly what that is, but
it looks
like a browser window without buttons or address bar. So I
guess this
wouldn't work when you associated .hta with IE again.

However, navigating a TW this way works only very sluggish
and isn't
fun at all.

Regards,

W.

Kathy,
.hta files are intended to be associated to mshta.exe. You
can try
running "mshta mytw.hta"

One thing that may work (I'm on XP too, but I have an admin
account on
it) is to
-download
-open with notepad
-open another instance of notepad
-paste the contents of the original file into the second
notepad and
save the file using a new name

Unlike "save as", doing this should not drag the
blocked status to
your new file.

Hope this helps.
