One of the keys to the success of the web has been the transparency of HTML code. Novice coders could always "View Source" to see how a certain effect was achieved. But with embedded javascript showing up in more and more pages, it has become increasingly difficult to figure out exactly what the HTML on a page actually is. "View Source" shows the document that came from the server, not the HTML that is being displayed in the browser.
In IE, that HTML is available, just not through the user interface. Fortunately, IE also has an extensibility mechanism for adding items to context (right-click) menus. Here's a context-menu extender and a registry import file to install a current-HTML viewer in IE. Copy the extender file (contextmenuext.htm) to your hard drive, edit the import file to specify the correct file spec, double-click on the import file, and you'll have a new entry in your IE right-click menu labeled "View Current HTML".
