I am using Explorer 8

WHen I click on view, source, in the menu bar, I am able to see my website
source code, but am unable to copy it because I am only able to view it with
the defaulted program. How do I change it to Notepad?

Hi,
Windows XP or Vista? (Might or might not matter.) What's the default program
for "view source?"

Can you change the program from Internet Options> Programs> HTML Editor?

The registry edit at http://www.pctools.com/guides/registry/detail/774/
should work with XP or Vista. Post back if you need help with the registry
edit.

Hope this helps,
Don

Use the Developer tools. (Press F12, etc.)

BTW beta users are asked to post in the IE Beta NG.
