Save target as...

  #1  
Feb 9th, 2005
Hi all need some help please.

I'm now having difficulty saving certain files displayed on websites such as gif files or jpgs when I right-click and "save target as" which is blanked out. This wasn't the case before and wondered why I'm getting this?

Please help. Thanks.

On the Tools menu in Internet Explorer, choose Internet Options > Content. You have the Content Advisor turned on and you need to go into the Settings section and disable it. 'Save Target As..' will not work if the Content Advisor is enabled.

I'm afraid I don't know. That exhausted the only solution to your problem I was able to locate. Does it work if you right-click on an image and choose 'Save picture as.....'?

Yes that option is available. They usually save as bmp images which is annoying.

It's strange as "save target as" appears when pictures display in the google images search engine. But on a website, no joy. What I'm trying to do is save a gif smilie to be used on a website I'm creating. This is the address http://www.cheesebuerger.de/smilie.php (I hope you don't mind me displaying it) If you pick any smilie and right-click do you get the "save target as" option? If you don't then maybe they've disabled that option from their side (if that can be done).

If they only save as bitmap files, look on the 'General' tab in Internet Options and use the 'Delete Files' button to clear out your temporary internet files. They'll save as normal after that, although you may need to close down and restart IE before they do.

They're an image. Use 'Save picture as'

If you save them as a picture they don't animate, that's why I need to save them as a gif. Try it yourself and you'll the smilies don't move. But are you able to right-click and "save target as?"

Thanks.
