In earlier versions of Internet Explorer, I’d hit “View | Source” and have immediate editable access to the page’s HTML. With Explorer 8, I can see the code … and that’s about it.

Is there a setting / workaround for this … or must I resort to using earlier editions of Explorer?

All helpful input appreciated!
