    Hello.

    In my new gallery of web design, I want to list the download size of each design. Is there a handy way to measure this?

    If you click on file---properties---in IE, you only get the code file size, not the graphics. So then you have to add up all graphics referenced by the code...

    Is there an easier way? Thank you, anybody...

    One way (probably not the simplest) is in IE to save the page (Complete Web Page), and then view the properties of the file and folder it creates.

    Thank you Filbert!

    That is what I have been doing actually.

    I am relieved to hear that I am "doing the right thing"! Did not want to find out several months later that "there is a much simpler way..." Well maybe there is but if you don't know it, it must be not that obvious at least. So, thank you for setting me at ease.

    You could write a program in PHP that does that... in fact, if someone made a program that spidered a website and detailed the download details of each page, it could probably sell for some good $$$ :-P
