Viewing source when no menu bar

[cyberseed]

How do you view the source or save a web page if the menu bar has been removed? Are their some hot keys? Thanks for any thoughts!

In Safari, it's command-alt-u. What browser are you doing this in?

[cyberseed]

IE6 - still havent upgraded and yes its a pc. Whilst I'm talking to a mac user whats the best way of testing Safari looked at icapture but it was not working. Maybe it was just overloaded. Thanks for help

To view source, just right-click with your mouse and choose View Source. As for saving the file. You can just do ctrl+a (select all) and then ctrl+c to copy, open word and ctrl+p to paste.

She beat me to it. Its all good, I like being beaten by women. <-- tee hee ugh... oh gawd.. Friday where are you! You can run webkit browsers on windows however its not entirely accurate in rendering. It can give you some insight but I would not rely on it 100%.

some browsers view sources have colors to keep you entertained... I mean to distiguish the code

daygon, the newer versions of firefox have that . its pretty cool!

Right-click can be disabled by javascript. In that event, Shift+F10 will display the right-click menu.

Oh yeah. And switch to Firefox, for cryin' out loud!

Thanks Donny,
I knew all other techniques but this shift+F10 was new for me. I will try to use it extensively so that I will never forget this tip by you.

You're welcome, Mandar.

Shift+F10 and Alt+spacebar (try it!) are the two most essential keyboard shortcuts in Windows (apart from Alt+menu item accelerator key, of course). Armed with those, you can navigate Windows even if your mouse dies. Oh, yeah - Ctrl+Esc is pretty useful, too. And tab/Alt+tab/Ctrl+tab are absolute essentials as well.

Hmm. Maybe I should write a little tutorial on mouseless Windows.

Please do, I'd really appreciate it. I mostly use a large gaming keyboard where I can program almost unlimited keyboard macros but I am not so familiar with the standard keyboard shortcuts (I only knew the last 4 of the ones you listed).

Problem is, there doesn't seem to be an appropriate forum for it... ?

Maybe one of the mods will weigh in on that and provide me some guidance.

What?!!? You mean you didn't check the Webforumz New Addons thread in the Cafe yet!?!

We have a shiny new Web Design Articles & Tutorials section now. Just post it in there. An admin or super moderator must approve it afterwards tho. And I'm not sure if Jacob fixed it yet but, there a bug when selecting "Tutorial" from the drop-down, so ... just select "Article" and later when it's fixed we'll change it
