How can I capture the source code of an HTML page that redirects?

I'm playing a game on a cool website, where you have to figure out the title of each new page in the series from the content of the page before

n.nfshost.com

I reached one where AHA! I figured out what the next one would be, and I typed in the title and sure enough, it was correct, but <whoooff> the page was gone and I was returned to the previous page in the series.

Some of the clues have come by being able to click and read the source of some of the pages, but I can't catch this one. Is there some way to do that?

thanks

Well, it may be by some means other than the meta refresh tag. I found where I can turn off the option in my Opera browser to "Enable automatic redirection". I see other pages stopped with

302 Moved
The document has moved here.

The trick page does not seem to be affected.

I dont know enough html. Even the meta refresh thing was news to me (I've been busy studying the issue while hoping for help here!)

well, I figure I can't give the link, since anyone playing the game and coming from behind would have the answer for that point in the game.

Anyway, I just stumbled on the trick that shows the page (I have stumbled onto the answers more than once, I'm at 20 right now). So on I go.

And I guess I can't even tell you what the trick was, cause you or someone reading this might want to play.

So go to the site and start at 1. The next one is 2.html, which shows a 2.

So the next page is ... ... 3.html, of course.

But 3.html showa III on the page.

Hmmm.... AHA! the next is going to be IV.html, and on you go.

I don't think that's revealing too much

It's been fun!

This is kind of fun.

EDIT: I'm stuck on tweelvee. The hint is a_dozen, I assumed 12, twelve, 13, thirteen, and am about to try their capitalized variants, but other than that I see nothing.

if you're stuck at that point, I will tell you some things

I googled a long time on that one

I tried many, many possible words

Look back at the previous steps, there is information there

It's the only one so far that I felt ... unpleased with? Like come on, that one was no fun in the doing or in the eventual finding of the answer.

But on from there, it's really a trip

Me too. I felt so useful and clever just a second ago too. ;)
