Yes, sorry for the problem. The quick workaround is to turn off the "Suppress Web site errors" box in the Project Properties dialog | Advanced section.
Best regards, Oleg Chernavin MP Staff |

When OE parses pages, it tries to extract all URLs from java scripts on the pages. This is a tough task and it searches for any line that may look like a URL. OE starts loading these URLs, but some lines may appear to have other purpose than to be a URL in the script.
When this happens, OE loads a URL which doesn`t exist on the server. The server outputs an error page which contains links, etc. By default, OE saves error pages and tries to follow links on them. To stop this behavior, this box should be unchecked. The reason for this box is simple - some Web sites mark all their pages with errors to prevent downloading with offline browsers. Oleg. |
