arbitter Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Hello there, Is there a url that sends the source-code of a site to any browser? e.g.: view-source:http://www.yoururl.com/ works in firefox and chrome, but it doesn't in safari, and if you want to view the source you just get a pop-up but no url...

oni-kun Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Why do you want this done? There's no cross browser method for 'any' browser.

Adam Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 And you're friend (who I assume must have some knowledge of browsers to want to view the source) is incapable of just viewing the source themselves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arbitter Posted March 29, 2010 Author Share Posted March 29, 2010 And you're friend (who I assume must have some knowledge of browsers to want to view the source) is incapable of just viewing the source themselves? No she's capable of it, but I wanted to show her I followed her advice by posting her a url that went straight to the source code... It'd just be something nice t know, if it was possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 The source code will always be returned from the webserver. Isn't it your friend's fault that she chose the wrong client to check it out with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arbitter Posted March 29, 2010 Author Share Posted March 29, 2010 For some reason I always get misunderstood on this forum Thanks anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
