- View-source
The view-source protocol is a
URI scheme used inHTML to create links which display the source code of a web page (usually in a popup window).For example, this URL shows the source of the Wikipedia home page:
view-source:http://www.wikipedia.org/ Browser Support
Firefox and Internet Explorer both supported the view-source protocol, but support was dropped from Internet Explorer in Windows XP SP2 due to security problems [ [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/904678 Microsoft Knowledge Base] ] . Firefox also suffered a similar security issue [ [http://www.governmentsecurity.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=14861 GovernmentSecurity.org] ] , but still supported the protocol in Firefox 1.5 [ [http://deftone.com/blogzilla/archives/view_source_bug_fixed_and_a_tip.html Blogzilla] ] .
