    Ok first hope this ok not breaking any rule on boards.ie, I'm sure i ain't since I ain't publishing the webpage.

    I want to just do a quick redo of rte.ie page.
    Its just a for a wind up the person wouldn't know anything about computers and never notice its a file and not a website.

    I saved the rte.ie page in complete form, but the problem I keep getting is that the two menu bars come out as lists in a vertical order and I lose the kind of grind the options where in.

    You can she what im talking about at the top of this link http://www.rte.ie/sport/gaa/championship/2011/0725/quarterfinals.html

    It would be easier for you to use the firefox add-on, firebug, or in Google Chrome, right click on the bit you want to change and select "Inspect Element".

    I'm guessing you're losing the style sheet links.

    Odd, few other sites are a little bit off but could easily fix them, dunno how to fix the RTE one. Awh il keep at it, thanks for that.

    Easiest thing to do is just save the page as a HTML file only (not a complete webpage).

    Then open it in notepad, and add the following line between the <head> tags:

    [html]<base href="http://www.rte.ie"/>[/html]

    When you open it in a browser, this tag will tell the browser to download all the files with a relative path directly from the RTE site, rather than looking for them on the machine where the webpage is.

    Thanks that worked perfect except for one thing. Cant seem to change picture, might be something im doing wrong or is it cause its trying to use the picture from the rte website and contradicting the code I have put in?

    Probably - if it uses a relative path then it will look at the RTE site, so use a full path instead.

    e.g. instead of something like this:
    <img src='mypicture.jpg"/>
    do this:
    <img src='http://www.flickr.com/mypicture.jpg"/&gt;
