Prasad, if you have SP2 installed, your IE may be hardened beyond what you expect it to. Please make sure the popup blocker is not blocking. The bookmarklet is setup to show page source in a NEW WINDOW, so it requires a popup, technically. Works on IE here for me, even with Maxthon or Slimbrowser skins.

Hi. Made a view-source favelet without the prompt, in case anyone's interested. http://www.codehouse.com/javascript/favelets/view_source/

Thank you. You’re quite welcome for the link. I often post stuff for the website when half asleep, which may account for why I had difficulty getting the view-source favelet to work, but I do remember it being problematic. Provided nobody beats me to the punch, I will try to tackle the problem again later this month. One problem with using the view-source URL prefix is that Opera doesn’t support it. I haven’t tested whether Safari does. My hunch is not.

Thanks for the link, Codehouse. The GENERIC VIEW SOURCE is easily modified I imagine to remove the PROMPT, given that the audience for this kind of stuff is most likely tech-literate. Interesting website btw.

Hi,

“IE View Source” is almost identical our DHTML Snoop: http://www.codehouse.com/javascript/favelets/dhtml_snoop/

The “Generic View Source” bookmarklet is a good idea, yet I think it might be better if it automatically brought up the page without the prompt dialog, like “IE View Source.” I had actually tried to do this myself at one point, but ran out of time and patience, and so put it on the back burner.

In Mozilla, you can use the DOM inspector.

(1) Open page in Mozilla DOM Inspector.
(2) Right click on top node.
(3) Copy XML.
(4) Paste in text editor.

It’s that simple!
