I suggest ALL you IE users take eddie willers' advice and get this handy, dandy tool! It puts ALL the powers right on your right clicker!

Hi gals.
Yes, Howlin, it's such a neat and keeno tool that I made up a generic response and put it on a notepad page to ramp up as needed.

Here it is:

I hope you don't find this presumptuous, but I have found this web tool for IE5 to be invaluable.
I found it on an 'HTML Bootcamp' thread and since so few of us ever go back to 'old' threads, I have been posting it to folks that may have brought over a little more HTML from their article than they wanted.

What it means is that you can usually highlight just the article that normally resides in the middle of the page. (away from all the ads and tables etc)

After you have highlighted just the text you want, hold your mouse over the highlighted text, right click and copy your 'View Partial Source' and bring it over to FR.

Keeps you from doing what you did. :-)

Here's a great tip: With Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0+ you can easily download and install a few cool tools, such as "View Partial Source." With that extra small tool installed on your PC, you can highlight a segment of any webpage, right-click, and choose to view the partial source of whatever got highlighted by your mouse. Now you don't have to look through an entire page's source code, just the small part of the page you are interested in viewing.

Here's the link for IE web tools:
http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/IE/WebAccess/default.asp
and look at the bottom of the page for "Web Developer Accessories." You will need to reboot to get it to work.

I broke my old computer back in January and the new one came with IE6.

According to Microsoft, I can't add this neato tool......sniff.
I miss it too......wail.

Yep been using "View Partial Source" for a long time... Remember it's not available for IE6... So I've kept my 5 just for the convience of VPS.....

I just highlight, copy and paste to here

Thanks for bringing that to us.... That is a really cool tool... I am gonna forward the info if you don't mind!
