    Angry View Source Not Working

    I'm using IE. When I want to view the source code of any site, it never works. Even when I go to my own web site, I can't view the source code from within IE when I go to View, Source. What is causing this and how do I fix it? Thanks for any help.
    Only those who try will become.

    What do you mean? What do you get? A blank page or some thing? Or what?

    Re: View Source Not Working

    Have you done the latest Windows Updates?
    Does it not work for this site?
    Some sites have code written to prevent the right-click popup View Source from working but the menus View Source should always work.

    It quit working for me a few months ago. My solution was to get Firefox.

    But then you end up with corruption from FF.

    *Slaps RobDog*

    Do I really need to say it? I'm sure everyone knows what I'm going to say

    Oh well here it is!

    The correct abbreviation is Fx as it is Firefox and not FireFox

    Re: View Source Not Working

    Did I mention that you can install the DOM Parser with FX

    It's a lot better than trying to parse source html, almost everytime.
    I haven't had any problems with Fx, and have been running it for more than a few months. I really have gotten used to it. In fact, I just installed the new version 1.0.5 last night. I use IE for Windows Update.

    BOT
    If Canders solution doesn't work
    Check Notepad has not been deleted.
    Your TMP/TEMP environment variables point to folders that exist.

    Re: View Source Not Working

    There are a number of things which cuased this issue. All are detailed here with the solutions:

    http://www.winguides.com/registry/display.php/1246/
    PHP || MySql || Apache || Get Firefox || OpenOffice.org || Click || Slap ILMV || 1337 c0d || GotoMyPc For FREE! Part 1, Part 2

    | PHP Session --> Database Handler * Custom Error Handler * Installing PHP * HTML Form Handler * PHP 5 OOP * Using XML * Ajax * Xslt | VB6 Winsock - HTTP POST / GET * Winsock - HTTP File Upload

    Latest quote: crptcblade - VB6 executables can't be decompiled, only disassembled. And the disassembled code is even less useful than I am.

    Re: View Source Not Working

    None of those conditions existed before when I was having the problem.
    Maybe the security settings could have caused it?
