328937 2005-02-28 07:31:00 I used to be able to type "view-source:" before a web address and notepad would open with the page source, as if I had right-clicked and selected view-source from the context menu. However this doesn't work anymore.

Admittedly I can't remember when it did last work (might have been a couple of years ago), so it might not be a Win XP function, or perhaps it has been removed from IE6?

Any suggestions?

328938 2005-02-28 08:59:00 It doesnt seem to work on IE6 here, but does work within Firefox. I hadn't known of this, are you sure it used to work with IE? sal (67)

Whatever it is, it's annoying, and I'm keen to get my hands on a way to get around it (and switching browser isn't going to work for me, sorry).
