View Source

[penguincube]

For some reason, whenever I click on "View Source," nothing ever happens. Does anyone know why and what I can do to make "View Source" work? It works on other computers but not mine for some reason.

What browser are you using?

[penguincube]

I have tried it on IE and AOL and neither work

[TheJackal]

In IE, in your Tools - Internet Options - Programs toolbar, it gives you an option to select a default HTML editor... Do you have a default HTML editor selected?

[penguincube]

It was set to Frontpage, and I set it to Notepad and it doesnt work on either one.

[TheJackal]

What does it do, when it "doesn't work"? Does nothing ever load or what?

[penguincube]

Nothing happens whatsoever.

Clear your browser cache and you should be able to view source again. In IE, Tools/Internet Options/Temporary Internet Files/Delete Files. Once you do that close IE and open it back up and you should be able to view source.

I don't think there is a way to block the view source feature in browsers, and even if there is some JavaScript code to do so, you can always use telnet and get the source.

Protecting HTML code is impossible.

There is no possible way to block the source from being viewed, unless you come up with some ingenious way to alter the source code after the orginal is used. Second, clear your browsers cache. I was experiencing the same problem and it was fixed after clearing the cache, this is a known IE bug.

It seems like IE freezes whenever I try to clear my Temp. Internet Files. I came back 20 minutes after clicking it, and it still didnt do anything, then when I did Ctrl+Alt+Delete it was Non-Responsive. This happens every time.

Disable your antivirus, then try to delete them.
