Save a Web Page for Offline Viewing

Seeing that mobile devices are often used in areas without Internet access, such as airplanes, it can be helpful to download and save a web page so that you can view it offline. The Blazer browser makes it incredibly easy to save a page for offline viewing. To do so, follow these steps:

1.	Navigate to a page in the Blazer browser.
2.	Press the Menu button and then scroll down to and select the Save Page command. The New Saved Page Bookmark screen opens and looks surprisingly similar to the window you saw earlier for creating a new bookmark. In fact, saving a page for offline viewing involves creating a bookmark for the page. Tip If your data service provider requires a proxy for connecting to the Internet, tap the Set Proxy button in the Advanced tab. After enabling the proxy, you're prompted to specify the port number for the proxy. Your data service provider should supply this information.
3.	The name and description of the page to be saved are shown in the New Saved Page Bookmark screen. Feel free to edit this information if you'd like. Otherwise, tap the OK button to accept the new bookmark and save the page for offline viewing. A confirmation screen appears and lets you know that the page was successfully saved. Tap the OK button to continue. Figure 10.11. You can use the New Saved Page Bookmark screen to specify the details of a page to be saved for offline viewing.
4.	After saving the page for offline viewing, you are taken to the bookmark list. Figure 10.12 shows the bookmark list with the saved page bookmark clearly in view. Notice a small orange (trust me, it's orange) triangle in the upper-right corner of the bookmarkthis icon indicates that the page is saved for offline viewing. Figure 10.12. Saved pages that can be viewed offline appear in the bookmark list with a small orange triangle in the upper-right corner of the bookmark.

After a page has been saved for offline viewing, it appears in the bookmark list almost like any other bookmark you've created. There are two differences, however. The first difference is the visual cue of the small orange triangle in the upper-right corner of the bookmark. The second difference is that when you edit a saved page bookmark, there's no URL for you to edit. This is because the page has been downloaded to your device and, therefore, has no need to reference a URL on the Internet. In this way, you can't think of offline web pages as updating themselves in any way. If you want to read a new version of an offline web page, you need to delete the previous bookmark and save the page again.
