What is the best way to download website HTML off the web?

[Parlays]

What do you all use to download HTML files off of the web? Are there methods that are better or have more cabalities than others?

I want to study the methods used by sites like ESPN.com and others. Any help is appreciated.

Are you trying to copy ESPN website locally on your computer?

Its possible to copy websites , but not suggested , you can use various softwares for website copying

But if you want to copy those for learning purpose it wont help much , i suggest you to just see source of anypage you are interested in viewing and learn

Website copying is not a solution for what you want to accomplish

Do you want to copy your own website to your local computer?

Then use some FTP software , there are plenty of those which are free

I'm not trying to copy their site and use it, like copy and paste, no that is not what I mean, lol.

I just want to take a look at the source to see how they used CSS and what fonts they use, simple things like that. Just for studying it. Not sure what you mean by not recommended?

Simply want to know the best utility for downloaded pages off the web to study with software like Dreamweaver.

You can try something like this:

I use View Source. In ie, you go to a web page. You can then run view source from the menu, or type [alt]vc. In Firefox it is called View - Page Source. You can load the page by typing ctrl-u.

In ie you will view the source with whatever program you have as the default for text. I've been using Notepad+ instead of Notepad.

I hate people who download my sites with downloaders (creating annoying little spikes in traffic.) Some of the programs will wham the server with thousands of hits a minute.

BTW, most programs will let you load anyfile on the web. If you are in Notepad and select File/Open then type in a web address, you will get the html from that web address. So, if you have an html editor you like, just open the web page you want to study.

Firefox also has plugins available that will allow you to view the style sheets of the page you are viewing.

Thanks fellas, appreciate it. I'm gonna check out the Firefox plug-ins to get a look at the CSS and javascript files.

Firefox>Right Click>Save Page As> save it as .html or htm
Everything thats within that page, css, images, js files, will be downloaded in a folder
