    Question on capturing text from a webpage

    My techer for my online Sociology class is dumb. She had the website disable ALL of the right-click events and I wanted to make a study guide from my quizes and exams taken in the past. Since those events are disabled, I cannot copy selected text from the site. Does anyone know a way around this? Writing down 6 quizzes and 3 tests of at the minimum of 50 questions EACH seems way to tedious for me.


    Thanks all!

    Can't you just go to "view source" in your browser and just copy the code from there???

    What about File -> Save As

    That will save the page to your computer, and you should be able to copy and paste then.

    when you highlight the text on the page, press Ctrl + C to copy it to the clipboard then past it in Word or something

    or
    Firefox: click View -> Page Source
    IE: click View -> Source
    Currently using VS 2015 Enterprise on Win10 Enterprise x64.
