hey there,

I have a nifty problem. When i choose image \> source, there is no screen that opens with the html-code in it. I don’t know when that has changed, but normally i could see the source-code of any webpage, but now i can’t anymore… How can i solve this problem?

thanks

I don’t know why that happens, but in IE you can try downloading the HTML file by choosing Save As … from the File menu. When downloaded, you should be able to open it with noetepad or any ohter program and view the code.
