Nowadays, people generally use Microsoft's IE as the default browser to view news and search information online. IE has provided a powerful "Save As" offline browsing function since 5.0. How to realize offline browsing and how to download more information as much as possible during online time to achieve the skills of saving network fees. There are already many articles introduced. But even if you use tools like WEBDUP to "move" most of the website content to your local hard drive, if you do not make special improvements when browsing offline, there will still be a problem with asking whether you want to connect to the network, which will affect your efficiency of offline browsing. This article will talk about this issue:
1. Analysis of FAQs in offline browsing
1. The dial-up connection dialog box that still bothers people
Let’s first take a look at how the general offline browsing and tools work, and you can know why there is still a connection prompt for offline browsing. When using IE's "Save As" function, IE creates a subdirectory with the file name +.FILES as the suffix name in the folder you specified and number it one by one. It will store all the tables, pictures, etc. used by the web page in these subdirectories, and in the root directory of the folder you specify, there are not many practical things, just a few pointers and indexes, allowing the browser to search for content when it is officially working.
When IE downloads materials, it needs to send an application to the website server to the download request. Different address resolution and IP, the permissions granted by the website server are different. The permissions obtained by most people cannot download the entire content of the website. For example, the advertisements of some manufacturers who cooperate with the website on the web page cannot be downloaded, but the directions of these advertisements are still retained in the local hard disk folder pointer. So when you browse content involving these advertisements on your local hard drive, even if you choose "Offline" in advance, Windows will still pop up a dialog box to ask if you are connected to the network, otherwise the advertisement will not be displayed (referring to advertisement strips, pictures, etc. on the same page, not those advertising windows that pop up another web page). In addition, special effects such as FLASH animation and audio on web pages often add pointers to your local hard drive. Even if you don’t ask whether you are dialing up, you will ask you “whether you need to install it immediately” and install FLASH, Italian display support and other components, which is really verbose.
When crawling the entire website with tool software, the process is actually similar to that of IE, and you also need to apply for download requirements from the website server. However, the tool software has a high degree of automation, unlike IE's "Save As" that requires artificially specifying the target folder for each page, and it can open multiple threads, which is faster.
In this way, all content that has not been downloaded permissions retained in the local hard disk will pop up when browsing offline to request connection to meet the link pointing in the web page, so the dial-up connection prompt always appears. If there are several places on a page pointing to undownloaded content, then IE will start the second dial-up connection dialog box from the beginning. After you cancel one, IE will immediately start the second dial-up connection dialog box until all download requirements are cancelled - plus some web pages have source code errors, IE's default automatic detection function may often prompt you with web page errors, "Do you want to correct it?", etc. Do you think this is a lot of trouble, which violates the original intention of offline browsing?
2. Trouble caused by windows of different sizes
The default setting of IE is to open another web page if you encounter a click link, start another IE window, and retain the current window. The other window that opens in this way is mostly not in a maximized state, and the position on the screen is not fixed. Every time you have to maximize it to facilitate browsing, which greatly affects the browsing speed and mood. What's worse is that there is no corresponding window status content for adjustment in IE's IETERNET option.
So how to solve the two major problems mentioned above? Please see:
2. Corresponding solutions
Although the culprit is those advertising strips, pictures, etc., the best way is not to remove the pointer when downloading. Because IE and most tools for crawling websites are not specifically optimized for this, it is technically difficult to implement. We should focus on these points:
1. Keep the dial-up connection dialog box
When you browse to places that point to undownloaded content, IE will jump out of the first dial-up connection dialog box. You should stop it halfway, but don't click on the offline work above, which is equivalent to completely terminating the process. IE will start the second dial-up connection process - what you have to do is ignore this dialog box and leave it there to occupy a window of a task bar. Keep the dial-up connection dialog box and continue browsing, you will find that the rest of the content never asks you whether you want to dial-up connection - because the previous process has not ended, the dial-up connection for Windows cannot be dialed twice with one setting at the same time. Haha, this is a very "outside-minded" technique, but it is very practical. Note that the dialog box that retains the "Dial Up Connection" is ignored, not the small dialog box that "Does it stay offline browsing" is ignored.
2. Prohibit script debugging and ready-to-install
It is prohibited in the Advanced option of INET. In this way, IE will no longer check the errors of most web pages (in fact, what if it is found if it is wrong? You can't change it or it is difficult to change it, because the source code of the web page is not written by you), and will no longer prompt you whether you want to install FLASH components or instant-install dialog boxes such as Japanese or traditional Chinese, which will save you a lot of trouble.
3. Solve the problem of opening the window
The problem of maximizing windows is solved: If you like to browse a window with a single maximizing window each time, please enter the "Advanced" option in IE's INTERNET option, and remove the previous hook on "Start the browser window in another process". Then every time you click on a link, IE will no longer start another window, but will retain the current maximization status and transfer to the link content you specified. But in this way you may have to keep moving forward and backward for different pages of the same article, so I suggest you refer to the 4th dot.
4. Use better browser tools
The author recommends using a browser like MYIE. It is a powerful auxiliary tool for Microsoft IE, which can automatically maximize your second and third windows. It is always a window in the windows taskbar and does not take up much space. Its multi-windows have status bar adjustments in this task, which is very intelligent. The same effect can be achieved by choosing the Tencent browser included with QQ.
How about it? After setting this way, it is easier to browse offline?
