Hello all. Ive been having problems with the 'view source' option. Whenever i click it nothing happens!! Its incredibly annyoing. Can someone please help!!? Please!?
 
If you have a shortcut to notepad on your desktop rename it to npad or
something or move it to the quick launch bar and delete the desktop one.
This usually works.

You can also right click on the grey parts of the IE toolbar and select
"Customize" whih will allow you to add an "Edit" button, this works just
like view source using notepad and is handy if you want to save things for
reference.

Tom,
Some of the responses speak of clearing cache, temporary files, etc., but that is something I do regularly, and NotePad always opened with the desired HTML code. Suddenly, NotePad opened with nothing in the page.

For your problem: Make sure that "notepad.exe" is present in your PC. I did a search for all occurances of "notepad" and came up with two 65K versions in the c:\windows and c:\program files\internet explorer\connection wizard. There was a third file in c:\windows\system32, but it was only 3K. I opened it with an editor and found an "MZ" file identifier (which means nothing to me). But, renaming this file to "Xnotepad.exe" made the HTML code suddenly reappear when I click on View Source. This anomaly just seemed to happen, and I have no idea how it got there.

I hope this helps.
