View source not always working

P

Paul Lautman

The page below is delivered via a PHP script. When I try View->Source on IE,
nothing happens, however Firefox displays the source OK. I have noticed a
similar thing with pages produced by the Mambo CMS system except that
sometimes IS's View->Source works on a page and other times it will not.

Any ideas why this happens?

<html>
<head>
<title>Login</title>
</head>
<body>
<font color="red"><b>&nbsp;<br></b></font>
<h1>Login</h1>
<form action="/bb/login.php" method="post">
<table align="center" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3">
<tr><td>Username:</td><td>
<input type="text" name="uname" maxlength="40" value="">
</td></tr>
<tr><td>Password:</td><td>
<input type="password" name="passwd" maxlength="50">
</td></tr>
<tr><td colspan="2" align="right">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Login">
</td></tr>
</table>
</form>
</body>
</html>

Hi Paul,

Are you cacheing the document. I think view source opens the cached copy of
the document.

Since it is a logon screen, perhaps this is the preferred behaviour.

Regards.
