Mac Forum / Applications / Mac Applications / August 2008iCab "view source"
I distinctly remember on OS 9 in earlier versions of iCab how useful I found it to press command 8 and get my actual html file that generated a webpage (this was not on a local server, just URLd straight to the file on my old Mac). But now that I develop using a local server, the iCab simply brings up a temporary copy. It still brings up the original if I don't view the page via server ok. This ability to go directly via Command 8 to the original file is a very great time saver in the long run but I am not sure it is possible using a local server. Not the end of the world: I am well provided with 2 or 3 step process alternatives.  Signaturedorayme > on my old Mac).

There are no individual files anymore, which can be passed to an external editor. So the only way is, to pass a copy of the original source to the editor. If you access local files (via "file:" scheme) then you get the original file. BTW: Under MacOS 8/9 you had the same problem for all files/sources which were not (or no longer) stored in the Web Cache (which can happen if the WebCache is very small or disabled).

I guess it *is* a tricky one then... ... with European winter coming up and the Russians probably at least toying with the idea of choking fuel supplies, you might *have* to stay rugged up inside and work out how to get around to a preference that makes the original file come up in the editor on view source when working on a local server no matter what obstacles ... <g> Signaturedorayme |
