Can't view anything off line

Using IE. Just today I can't read anything offline, under history. It all blank for some reason and just doesn't appear to be storing viewed pages in History. Any views to resore to normal?

Your history just keeps a log of what sites you visited and might store some of the data in your cache - it doesn't download the whole page for viewing offline. There is an option to do this though I think.

You can only continue to read pages if the content is still in the cache (Temporary Internet Files Folder).

To ensure a specific page remains in the cache then add it as a Favorite and ensure you check the box for "Make available offline".

You can enhance what gets kept in the cache by ensuring that "Empty Temporary Internet Files when browser is close" is unchecked in the Advanced Internet Options section and that the Temporary Internet Files settings on the General Tab have an adequate size (but not too big).

Wasnt aware that you can access offline content in the Firefox cache. The only method I know of is to save the whole webpage to disk.
