IE view source quits working
General October 21st, 2003
I got frustrated with View Source not working with IE6 again. Something happens that View/Source just doesn’t do anything. Normally, it loads the HTML source for a page in Notepad. But when it breaks, it doesn’t do anything.
I forgot how I fixed this last time. So I did some Googling, and found it happens when the cache gets too full. Not over quota, or anything. And I’m not entirely sure what ‘too full’ means. But clearing the Temporary Internet Files lets me View/Source HTML pages again. Call me nuts, but I also think my laptop is running faster. My cache was about 500 megs… Should a browser cache really impact my system that much?
Or maybe it’s in my mind. While IE was taking forever to clean the cache, I downloaded FireBird .7. I had .6 installed, but it’s hard training myself not to use IE. Old habits die hard, I guess.
