Default How to view source code

I'm trying to customize various parts of how the cart looks in a browser, and it's very helpful to me to see the source code for a particular page. It often gives me hints and references that I can't see in just looking at a particular tpl.

But I notice in 4.4.x I can't see source code like I normally can through my browser.

Is there anyway to temporarily turn on 'view source code' ?

Thanks!

Not sure what you mean Jim, you can view the source in any browser. Use the 'Page Source' link under the 'View' toolbar or use CTRL + U in Firefox.

Thanks for your response Padraic

Can you give me a page done in 4.4.x that you can see source code in?

All I get in all 3 browsers chrome, IE, ff is the very beginning of the head with the meta's. Nothing else.

We used LiteCommerce before, and that was fine.

Scroll down - if you have Speed Up tools for js and css turned on 4.4.x leaves huge black space after the meta calls - all css/js code is compressed and cached in one file, hence the blank space

Use Ultraedit from ultraedit.com

I use that all the time, you can access your store program files using the built in FTP.

ITS GREAT
