Dear Friends:

You may be aware that Internet Explorer Version 5 and above provide for Offline web pages.  If you would like to preserve a copy of a web page on your hard disk and want to view it without visiting (going online) the page again, you can use this facility. There are many other ways of achieving this). It is under favorites - make this page available offline.

While making a Page available offline, you can schedule a job such that the page is visited automatically at desired intervals and your local file remains updated. There is also a provision to get yourself a mail message to tell that a certain Offline Page has been revised/updated!

Now my question is: Can this Offline Viewing facility be used for dynamic web pages. I have found it works well for static web pages that are changed infrequently, manually. This does not seem to work for dynamic web pages coming as a result of, say, a search query. Is there a way to utilize "Make this favorite for offline Viewing' facility for dynamic web pages?

If we can, then we have a very powerful tool for running SDI services. I hope all of you get what I mean!

Any comments?
