Hi,

Another way to do it that is more valueable if you need to see the *real*
/html/ that IE is actually using is to create the following somefile.url and
drop it into c:/Documents and Setting/UserName/Favorites/Links directory.
The a 'link' button will show up in your browsers menubar.

Here is the code (The extra linebreaks are there to indicate only what one
line should contain to avoid wrapping problems. You should have 5 lines in
the final somefile.url):

[DEFAULT]

BASEURL=http://localhost:8080

[InternetShortcut]

URL=javascript:(function(){%20function%20htmlEscape(s){s=s.replace(/&/g,'&am
p;');s=s.replace(/>/g,'&gt;');s=s.replace(/</g,'&lt;');return%20s;}%20x=wind
ow.open();%20x.document.write('<pre>'%20+%20htmlEscape('<html>\n'%20+%20top.
document.documentElement.innerHTML%20+%20'\n</html>'));%20x.document.close()
;%20})();

The important thing here is the 'top.document.documentElement.innerHTML' and
indicates you want the main browser window results. Say you need to get the
results of a frame in a frameset:



[DEFAULT]

BASEURL=http://localhost:8080

[InternetShortcut]

URL=javascript:(function(){%20function%20htmlEscape(s){s=s.replace(/&/g,'&am
p;');s=s.replace(/>/g,'&gt;');s=s.replace(/</g,'&lt;');return%20s;}%20x=wind
ow.open();%20x.document.write('<pre>'%20+%20htmlEscape('<html>\n'%20+%20top.
tool.document.documentElement.innerHTML%20+%20'\n</html>'));%20x.document.cl
ose();%20})();

The important thing here is the
'top.tool.document.documentElement.innerHTML' which indicates you want the
tool frame.

It is amazing how different the html that MS uses from what you give it :)

Best,
