The tech tip on 2/23 was for copying HTML from any website in the firefox browser. This was shown on a windows machine. I have followed the instructions in the tech tip but have been unsuccessful in getting it to work on a mac. Has anyone been able to get this tip to work on a mac? If so were you able to direct the view_source command to use an application other then text edit?

Under any os the easiest way to look at the page is to save the page to disk and then edit in a text editor index.html or whatever the base file for the website is. When you save the file, what ever the filename is should be the one to edit. If it is like my web site the main page is usually just a skeleton. You have to go deeper to get more details. wget for mac is another way. maybe even use webinmail.

You can view the code just by right clicking on the site and clicking view source.
The web developer tool bar in Firefox (available for OS X) gives you some other nice options too. You can easily view the sites CSS among many other cool things.
