Introduction

This nifty little script gives users the ability to save an html version of the page, bookmark the URL, print the page, and email the URL of a page to themselves or friends.

Note: The option to save the page is only available for Microsoft Internet Explorer users. Windows XP with Internet Explorer has problems bookmarking pages--this feature is unavailable to these users.

Demonstration

Code
