View-source
The view-source protocol is used in HTML to create links which display the source code of a web page (usually in a popup window).
For example, this URL shows the source of the Wikipedia home page:
view-source:http://www.wikipedia.org/
Browser Support
Firefox and Internet Explorer both supported the view-source protocol, but support was dropped from Internet Explorer in Windows XP SP2 due to security problems[1]. Firefox also suffered a similar security issue[2], but still supported the protocol in Firefox 1.5[3].

- Internet Explorer 6 - not supported after Windows XP SP2
