Can IE8 open ".mht" file with images correctly?

10-22-2009

Hello,
I posted a similar question before and got no answer:
http://www.microsoft.com/communities...&cr=&sloc=&p=1

So I make the question simple, can IE8 open a ".mht" file with images
correctly?

Because in my case, IE8 translates the urls in the ".mht" to its
original url, but not the url in the ".mht" file though it already packed the
images into the ".mht" file.

PS: The ".mht" file is saved with IE8 and can be opened correctly with
IE6.

Thanks to anyone shows me a clue!

Yes, IE8 can open saved MHT files with images correctly.

In your original post, you listed your example code as the following:

<html><body><img src="Zapotec.bmp"/></body></html>

Take the forward slash mark "/" out of the image tag in your test markup and
then try saving it as an MHT file, see if that doesn't make a difference.

Good luck,

Hello Donald,
Thank you very much for your answering. But I cannot connect to
msnews.microsoft.com with Outlook Express, maybe my ISP or router blocked the
119 port...

And for the question, I took more tests, and found that it may not have
relationship with the slash mark, but the name of the parent directory with
spaces.

Take the one-line-html with an image in my original post as example, if
I put them in a directory that no spaces in its path(For
example:"C:\CustDir"), it will be OK. But if I put them in a directory with
spaces (like "C:\Cust Dir"), the url will be not translated correctly in IE8.

I will try to paste two examples here, to make it more clear.
Save below text to a file with name "1.mht"

You will see 1.mht will be shown correctly in IE8, while 2.mht will not
show the image. But they will both be shown in IE6.

Any clue?

Thank you!

10-23-2009

I found the text I pasted is trimmed white space, and could not be parsed by
IE.
You should add a white space (tab character or space character) at the
beginning of 3 lines in each example, they are:
line 6: type="text/html";
line 7: boundary="----=_NextPart_000_0000_01CA53DD.88A7B310"
line 14: charset="Windows-1252"

The only way I was able to duplicate your issue(image not showing in saved
MHT file) was using your original IMG tag that had the forwad slash mark "/"
in it.

I can not duplicate your issue here when testing from folders with spaces in
the folder name.

Using this simple code example:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<BODY>
<IMG src="some.bmp">
</BODY>
</HTML>

Renders the image in saved MHT files regardless of whether there are spaces
in the directory name here.

Good luck,

It's weird, in my computer with IE8, whether I put or not a slash mark to
close the image tag, it will not affect the testing result...
And in html grammer, isn't that tag should be closed by a slash mark?
I'm cofused, because two friends of me took the same test and got the same
result with me, or is it related with the OS? My testing are done on WinXP.

Have you saved the two examples in my last post and have a try? If it's
saving is complicated, could I send you a mail with the two ".mht" files as
attachments?
Thank you very much!

Best Regards!

Oh, and one more thing: have you deleted the original html and image files
after "saved as mht"?

Then you have something else going on with your system that I'm not aware
of.

No. The forward slash in the IMG tag is invalid for HTML markup and
shouldn't be there - it is required for XHTML though.

My testing was also done with IE8 on Windows XP SP3, and the only way I was
able to reproduce your issue was by using the IMG tag with the invalid
forward slash in the HTML markup.

Sorry I don't have anything else to offer you on this problem.

Good luck,

Yes! In my testing here I used a folder that had spaces in the folder name
and also deleted the original HTML file and Image file from the folder after
the MHT file was created. None of this affected the image being shown in
the MHT file.

Again, the only way I was able to reproduce your issue here is to use the
invalid forward slash "/" in the HTML markup for the Image Tag.

Sorry I don't have anything else to offer you.

Good luck,
