Additional Product Information
Instant Source allows you to take a look at web page source code, to see how things are done. Also you can edit HTML directly inside Internet Explorer! While this has always been possible using the IE View Source command, Instant Source changes the concept entirely, and allows you to view the code for the selected elements instantly, without having to open the entire source. The program integrates into Internet Explorer and opens a new toolbar window which instantly displays the source code for whatever part of the page you select in the browser window. In addition, you can even set it to show source code for every element under your cursor, allowing you to quickly peak through the source as your cursor moves across the page. Other features include handy HTML, Javasript and VBScript syntax highlighting, support for viewing external CSS and scripts files.
Why is Internet Explorer's View Source command very inconvenient for viewing HTML?
Because:
Usually, you want to look at the code of a certain part of the page, not the entire page. The time needed to find the right code block may be significant.
Every time you have to select the View Source command from the menu and switch to the text editor.
You can't access external *.css and *.js files. The View Source command displays HTML in the Notepad without any syntax highlighting.
The Web Browser (we will talk about Internet Explorer only) does not show the same HTML source as you see! It shows HTML that was loaded from the server without any further processing.
Instant Source will resolve these problems. It integrates into Internet Explorer, so you don't need to use an external viewer. You get the HTML of the page element as quickly as possible.
HTML editing directly inside web browser.
Enhanced View Source command replacement.
Handy HTML, Javascript and VBScript syntax highlighting.
Easy real-time viewing of the cascade style sheets (CSS) and scripts files.
Instant access.
