How do you view source code in safari?

Safari menu > Preferences > Advanced.

Check "Show Develop menu in menu bar". Close Safari's preferences.

Develop menu > Show Page Source

You're welcome, and FYI if you encounter one of those ill-conceived websites that refuse to load unless you're running some version of Exploder or whatever, you will find the ability to change the "user agent" in the Develop menu also.

Thanks, but I hate that opening @ the bottom. I am not a developer, I just need to see a table so I can copy it off a suppliers website. How can I get it to open in a new window like before? It's a royal pain to find what I want, as I have to scroll sideways forever. While I like ML, there are so many changes that suck that I wish Apple never made. this is one of them. I'll use FF for my source needs.

Hey John :

i would like to know details on Opening in New Window. I am just started with Mac and all the thionhs thta you indicated have been a great relief >>>>any things thta you would like to share that will be of great help using Mac !

Is there a way of viewing the source code for a website all in one page like in the old version of Safari?

I'm trying to get a facebook like button to work and for some reason all my HTML appears on a single line in the developer box thing, it makes it really hard to find what it is that I need to fix 😟

Hey Chris,

To find the source code of the table off that suppliers website:

Go to

"develop"

"show page source"

Then click "inspect" on the menu bar

Then go to the place on the suppliers website where you'd like to find the code and click the section.

You'll see the code highlighted in the page source menu.

Hope that helps

All that changing the User Agent accomplishes is to placate poorly written web pages that interrogate the client to determine which browser it's using. There is no reason to do that, but some pages will refuse to load unless the user agent string matches the arbitrary value it expects.

Change the string to whatever it wants, and the page will obediently load having determined exactly nothing about what features the browser may or may not be capable of supporting.

It looks like Safari version 8 under Yosemite no longer has this choice. Is there any way, either through third-party software or other way in the new version of Safari?

Hi Kenneth,

I am running Safari Version 8.0.3 (10600.3.18) and Yosemite and was able to perform this operation. as mentioned above: Safari menu > Preferences... (⌘,) > Advanced

Check "Show Develop menu in men bar" and close Safari's preferences. If this does not work, try restarting your browser, but normally you should then see the "Develop" drop down menu in the bar between "Bookmarks" and "Window". Finally click Show Page Source.

how can you perceive his comments to be rude? He is not using profanities and expressing a 'viewpoint' - obviously one that does not align with your own but nevertheless the one who purports to be curt in their intonation of 'haughtiness' is yourself ...o masterful one...get off your high horse and if you had half an ounce of decorum you would not lower yourself to purvey aloofness...thankfully I did not require such assistance but if I did you would be the last person I would ask for help with such an arrogant manner!

If you ask politely and omit your rude comments, I will answer.

Otherwise you can figure it out for yourself.

Great Tip! Thank you very much! I never knew you could change the user agent too! I was simply looking for an option to view a page's source when i came across this post.

Thanks again!
