View Source doesn't work when I am on the web. It works when I view one of my pages on my own PC, but it doesn't work when I view the same page once I've loaded it on the web. View Source works on another PC in the house, so what setting do I need to change on this PC?. I'm using IE 6.0.288

Try this....go to TOOLS....INTERNET OPTIONS.....and then the PROGRAMS tab and check and make sure that the HTML Editor is set to notepad (or wordpad whichever you prefer) and that should let you open up the source code on a new notepad window when you select it.

sft42 - thanks, the point is view source works when used on awebpage on my own hard disc, but doesn't when viewing the same (or any) page uploaded to the web. Settings are as you describe.

Try clearing out your history and page cache. It maybe that it's full and IE cannot store the page on your disk and therefore cannot display the source. Goto Tools -> Internet Options and then hit the Delete Files button.
