Sorry. I missed a bit. You need to go advanced first.

Want to view the source code of a web page in mobile Safari on your iDevice?

Bookmark any page then edit it, name it 'View Source' and change the address to this:



Damn emoticons! Sub the for a : and a (

1. Open Safari.

2. Go to any web page (google as an example).

3. Once there add the page as a bookmark.

3a.

3b.

4. Rename the page to 'View Source' and save it.

4a. So it looks like this.

5. Tap 'Edit'.

6. Select the bookmark you renamed earlier so that you can edit the address.

7. Remove the address and paste the JavaScript from the top of my post.

All done So, now no matter which web page you are viewing you can simply select 'View Source' from your bookmarks and the source code will open in a new window

Enjoy

Hey, nice bookmarklet there! Will definitely come in handy. Thank you

Neat. Didn't know that was there. Live and learn, eh?

What you are doing above is known, in general terms, as a bookmarklet. A bit of javascript tucked away in a bookmark.

Here are quite a few more. I don't think your example is among them, but I haven't looked at them all in a while.

Glad you found something, however the real problem is that you and Kevin are talking about two different apps. He is using iPF (Discussion Forum for iPad Users). I'm not sure what app you are using, though I'm guessing Tapatalk.

I must have a different version then as I can only access the following settings from this thread by selecting the top right button and nothing at all from the title.

Anyway, we digress Enjoy the JavaScript

There no shortcut or any tweak for this?

 

[DarkRavenMoon]

? Creating the bookmarklet IS a short cut isn't it...? So far as I know this is the only way of viewing the source code of a website using mobile safari.
