I'll share this:

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.

Thanks, Howlin !! That 'View Partial Source' is the greatest thing since sliced bread.

I've been using that for quite a while, and would sure hate to go back to where I was before.

Castor brings Democratic Senate campaign to county

By Brian E. Crowley, Palm Beach Post Political Editor
Friday, April 9, 2004

BOYNTON BEACH -- Frank Castor cringed as his mother, Betty, shouted to a crowd of Century Village retirees that, yes, her son should help put Rush Limbaugh away.

"It's the best suggestion I've had today," she said in response to a shout from someone in the crowd urging her son to take on Limbaugh.

Betty is a candidate for the U.S. Senate. Frank is a prosecutor working for Palm Beach County State Attorney Barry Krischer. And Rush is the conservative radio commentator who Barry is trying to convict of doctor-shopping in an effort to obtain prescription drugs.

Your Opinion
Do you think the state attorney's office should be able to use Rush Limbaugh's medical records in its doctor-shopping investigation?

Audio: Limbaugh reads statement

Limbaugh, who is loathed by rabid Democrats, has admitted an addiction to painkillers but says he has not broken any laws.

"I have nothing to do with the Limbaugh case," said Frank Castor, who accompanied his mother on her political tour Thursday. "Nothing. I mostly handle cases involving the elderly."

A former state education commissioner and president of the University of South Florida, Betty Castor is running against U.S. Rep. Peter Deutsch of Lauderhill and Miami-Dade Mayor Alex Penelas for the Democratic U.S. Senate nomination.

She made three stops Thursday in Palm Beach County, first at Lake Avenue Chocolates in Lake Worth. She moved on to Boynton Beach, where she toured a Head Start program and quietly sang along with the children as they did an alphabet song.

At the Century Village on Lyons Road west of Boca Raton, Castor spoke to about 100 Democrats, describing herself as, "something of an idealist" who cares deeply about education and health issues.

Castor also reminded the crowd that she is the only candidate in either party who has won a statewide race.

The GOP field includes state House Speaker Johnnie Byrd, former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Mel Martinez, former U.S. Rep. Bill McCollum, state Sen. Daniel Webster, Coral Gables businessman Doug Gallagher, Miami businessman Larry Klayman, and Bob Smith, former U.S. Senator from New Hampshire.
