Thanks for the reply, Axle. I tried the Save Complete extension you recommended for Firefox but this did not work for either the WoW Armory, or WoW Heroes (which is similar to WoW Armory). I do have some experience with wget and shell scripting on my mac mini, so I'll play around with that. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I've had pretty good luck with http://www.httrack.com/. But I've done a fair amount of writing code that does this sort of thing and there just isn't any way that an automated process can be 100% successful with every web site; whatever solution you use, you might have to debug what the problems are and write code to "nip and tuck" the resulting files to get everything to work correctly.

It looks like the page is loading in content dynamically (there's a script called character-info-ajax.js and a "Loading..." message when mousing over things), so you're not going to be able to save the page locally and get it fully-working without an awful lot of hacking about to grab all that data and change the way the scripting displays it.
