View Source ....

[kinky]

I am trying to view the source code on some web pages (my own ironically) and when I do View Source on IE6 nothing happens.

I've disabled my firewall and virus checker - in case that was causing a problem - but still no luck.

I've been thru the various IE settings but can't see anything obvious.

It happens on all pages on all sites - so it's not a coding restriction on the pages I'm viewing.

I am running a 2nd firewall on my home network - but this is not causing a problem as my other machine works ok.

Can anyone point me in a possible direction on how to solve this?

I should add that if I do File Save As, then view it locally - it works ok. I'm using this as a short-term fix - but it's not ideal.

Many thanks in advance,

K

Go to Tools/Internet Options/Programs and set HTML Editor to Notepad.

Job done

[kinky]

yeah - it was already set to that.

I set it to MS Excel - did not load excel - re-set it back to Notepad - still no luck.

In that case.....er......:confused.

Other than a restart to sort things out.

Sometimes this happens to me.

I either have to hard refresh the page.
or
Right click then view source
or
via the View menu

Try clearing your Internet cache. Tools...Internet Options...Delete files

Tim,

BINGO.

Worked. Thank you very much. I must confess I did not even think of that as being a possible cause.
