Can't view HTML Source with WindowsXP

irishdeej · 2002-07-25 14:40:24

Hi All I’m trying to view the HTML Source on any web page, but when I click View / Source, Notepad will not open for me. Yes I do have Notepad set as my HTML editor. Any Ideas on how to fix this? Darren

It doesn`t matter what program is set as HTML editor thats used for when you click EDIT on a web page. Try entering IE Options and restoring the defaults.

Clear out your cache.

Tools > Internet Options > Delete Files.

If your cache is too big (or too full), view source just stops working.

More info here:

If that doesn't work, there are some other fixes on that page. One should work!

Hope this helps!

- Dave.
