How To View the HTML Source in Netscape 4 for Windows

By Jennifer Kyrnin, About.com

Viewing the HTML source of a Web page is one of the easiest ways to learn HTML. If you see something on a Web site, and want to know how they did it, view the source. Or if you just like their layout, view the source. I learned a lot of HTML simply by viewing the source of Web pages that I saw. It's a great way for beginners to learn HTML.
Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: 1 minute

Here's How:

  1. Open Netscape 4 for Windows.
  2. Navigate to the Web page you would like to examine.
  3. Click on the "View" menu in the top menubar.
  4. Click on "Page Source".
    This will open a text window with the HTML source of the page you're looking at.

Tips:

  1. On most Web pages you can also view the source by right-clicking on the page (not on an image) and choosing "View Source".
  2. Netscape also has a keyboard shortcut for viewing the HTML source - hold down the control key and hit u - Ctrl-U.
