why doesn't view source work for this site?

[News Reader]

Can anybody explain why you cannot use view source for this web page? I mean
right clicking page and then selecting view source.

I suggest that you define this site as restricted web site before clicking
the link. I'm not sure if this site has any spyware or not!

So open the page and be sure that no javascript is executed. When you try to
right click the page and view source, nothing happens. Why doesn't IE show
the source of the page?

It's not a site that's safe to visit and attempts to redirect you to an even
more dangerous site. WinXP SP2 and your third-party security tools are
preventing you from being hijacked!

Becasue it’s in a Frame, and when you view the source of a page that
is made up of frames IE will only display the source for the page that
contains the frames, a better web browser (e.g. firefox) gives you the
option to either view the source of the page that makes up the frames,
or the source of the pages in the frames.

Did you try that with your own advice or is it in a zone which allows
Active Scripting? The latter could be disabling right-click.
