Hi All, I have a finance web site that has a lot of data, that I would like to automate the save as MHTML each time any of the finance pages are loaded or refreshed. I can manually right click on the web page, save as single web page MHT and get the result I need.
So I thought I might be able to do this as a chrome extension. So with the help of ChapGPT i created an extension to save the current page as MHTML. The extension has a button I created and once clicked will go to a save as dialog box and allow you to save the MHTML file. This works but its not automated at all. It requires the click on the Save button and then the click on the save dialog box. ChatGPT advises that the save as function cant be automated but I don’t know if this is true.
I created another chrome extension to display an alert box when the web page is refreshed, loaded or when certain refresh buttons are clicked on the finance web pages. This works ok too so I felt combining the two projects I nearly had the end goal achieved.
But it seems for security reasons in Chrome I cant directly write to the file system the save as web page MHTML, it must go though a save dialog box.
I am open to any other way to achieve the goal though if the Chrome extension solution is not feasible.
Maybe some kind of browser automation product or code as long as it can be triggered by page load/refresh or refresh buttons and it’s a no click automation that I can turn on and off.
Appreciated you guys having a look at this – seems so simple but I am not there yet.
Thanks a lot
