Viewing the HTML Source Code of a Document

A great way to learn more about HTML is to study the source code for Web pages. You can study the source code for pages you view on the Web or look at the underlying source code for pages you create in Composer. You can even view the source code for a page you're editing, make a small change with the Composer menus or toolbar buttons, and then view the source code again to see how the HTML code has been changed. Give it a try!

To view the HTML source for a page you're looking at:

  • In Internet Explorer, choose View, Source.

  • In Netscape, choose View, Page Source.
