can't view source in IE 6? is this a common prog?

[bigshooter]

I can't view html source code for web pages. When I click view source, I get nothing, it doesn't even go blank. I'm going to search and probably find my answer, but I'm in a hurry so i posted here first.

edit: hehe, so i searched and found the answer within 4 seconds.

someone else posted to clear your temporary internet files. Not sure why this works, but it did. I was able to get source to popup.

Right click can be disabled in a web page.

i meant i clicked on view source under View/Source at the top.

It is infect very simple: to open the web page with, say, notepad for source editing or viewing, the explorer needs to place the file into the temporary internet files directory, which has a limit for size. You have simply reached that size limit So, when you cleaned that directory. it solved the problem.
You can increase the size limit by going to IE's properties

but there is a work around for that, dunno if they fixed it in 6 (doubt it) worked nice in 5

when you right click and get the pop up box "you can't right click" (or whatever error it gives you) smash the spacebar, doesn't always work the first time, but if you get the timing right you'll get the menu you're supposed to get.

show's you how crappy IE is for some things and most of the pages that have right click disabled you can still do it normally in NS.
