OT-IE question

Don't know how to set that either, but a (hopefully acceptable) alternative is to go:

Tools, Options, Programs and select Notepad.exe as the Default Html Editor. Then look at the source using File, "Edit with Notepad.exe" instead of View Source.

btw, consider using Firefox - it has more tools for web developers built into it.

you could download TweakUI for XP

and set the View Source to something else, and back to Notepad.exe again if you want.

I'm assuming that Notepad.exe does exist and isn't damaged on your system.

Hmm, looks like that works. I don't know what i did to turn off View Source. My updates usually are just text updates, and I find it very simple to change the text in the html code using a word processor...been doing it like that for years anyway.

Thanks Dave!

I don't think you *can* do anything to turn off View Source. It's probably either a file corruption or a MS bug. Try running a disk check to be safe.

It should have a table of file associations in there somewhere.

If something jumped the HTML editor, I would highly suspect a virus or browser hijacker program.

Matt- Open Internet Explorer, go to TOOLS, then INTERNET OPTIONS. Click on the "PROGRAMS" tab. First box down should read HTML EDITOR. It is a drop-down box. Click the small arrow on the right hand side of the box, select NOTEPAD.

HTH.

Got that much, it wasn't working.

Nope. It's working thru the "Edit with Notepad" command in the File menu. I don't have a virus but I haven't run a scan disk yet.

strange, I can do a View Source for google.co.uk but not an Edit...

thought firefox was linux only?!

Firefox is part of the Mozilla project. Supports Windoze, minus the worms, malward, virii, etc. However, just to show that nothing is perfect, you can install a DirectX plugin and make either Firefox or Mozilla as unsafe as Exploder.

SteveBrady proclaimed:

Works well on Windows. Nicer than Exploder as well, but not quite as quick. If you have a 1/2 decent machine, it will do just great.

Nope, I use it.

Some sites have problems with it, but for the most part it's faster than IE and not vulerable to the IE exploits or browser hijacking.

Most stuff gets done with Vi / Vim :-)
