As you are browsing the internet or for your own pages, you may want to view the HTML source of the page being displayed in your browser.
Drop down the view menu, and select the sub-menu 'Source'. Notepad will open with the HTML source for the page.
Viewing the Source of a Frame
Click your right-mouse button on the page inside the frame. A pop-up menu will appear, select the 'View Source' menu item.
Note: By default, MS Internet Explorer uses windows Notepad for viewing source. If you want to tweek your HTML, you can browse to your page on your hard drive, view the source, tweek the HTML, save it, and then press the Refresh button in MS Internet Explorer to reload the page.
Drop down the view menu, and select the sub-menu 'Document Source'. A window will open with the HTML source for the page.
Viewing the Source of a Frame
Click the mouse on the page inside the frame. Drop down the view menu, and select the sub-menu 'Frame Source'.
The easiest way is to View the Source (see above), then from notepad, save it as a file on your hard drive. Or you can view the page, then from the MS Internet Explorer File Menu, choose the Save As sub-menu to save the page as a file. Or from any link to the page (you can use the GeoCities file manager for your pages). Click your right mouse button on the link, a popup menu will appear, the choose the Save Target As sub-menu item.
Display the page in the browser, then from the Netscape Navigator File Menu, choose the Save As sub-menu to save the page as a file. Or from any link to the page (you can use the GeoCities file manager for your pages). Click your right mouse button on the link, a popup menu will appear, the choose the Save Link As sub-menu item.
After you download an HTML file, when you view the file in NotePad, if you get long lines with black boxes in them, when they should have been a bunch of separate lines. This is what happens when the lines are only separated by line feeds (this is a UNIX standard). One way to get rid of these is to load the page file into the FrontPage Editor. But sometimes you may not want to do this. Another way to get rid of them is to use the DOS file editor. Start up a DOS window, switch to the directory with the file, then use the EDIT command to edit the file (eg. EDIT page.html), then save the file from the DOS editor and it should insert carriage returns into the lines and fix the problem.
