See Hidden Code

[Awfy]

This is a little tip I found out today. Some of you may know it some not. It's when the creator of a site encrypts the code so that when you view source you can't see it. There is an easy way to get round it, just follow these steps.

1. Open Firefox (dowload here).
2. Download the extension called Firebug, this allows you to view coding and information about any page you're on (download here).
3. Go to the page that has the hidden code.
4. Activate Firebug so it is showing the HTML tab.

This will then display the full code including the CSS which goes with it.

I use this when someone is trying to sell a coded layout but doesn't want to show the coding. Helps you understand if the coding is good or the reason for them not showing is that it's crap.

Yeah, I use this a lot when sites use Javascript to load content and I can't get the source of the page because the stuff on the page isn't actually in the source its been dynamically loaded.

Nice one for posting it for other people though

Wasn't sure if it was well known or there was an easier way, so thought might post and wait for the verdict
