View Partial Source in IE8?

Hi all,

This was one of my favorite feature and was extremely useful. It was
packaged as part of the IE5 Dev PowerToys back in Aug. 2001.

I've used it in the past on IE6 and *I think* IE7. I've seen posts saying
it is compatible with IE6 & IE7 but nothing about IE8. I'm using IE8 and
don't want to install it if it will screw anything up.

I have 2 questions:
1. Will this work with IE8?

2. Why was this tool "done away with" when it was so popular?

TIA

Was it "so popular"? I think I used it twice, maybe 3 times.

IE8 has really good Developer Tools - press F12 to bring them up. The only
reason I ever used the View Partial Source was when needing to look at just
a small piece of a huge file that would have been a pain to find using the
full source. With IE8 Developer Tools things are a whole lot easier with
it's tree view layout and highlighting of selected elements in IE8 itself,
plus you can view the source for individual elements from the View menu.

Hi Dan,

Thanks for the reply. I've used the Developer Tools and found them useful.
I just wish that there was something as convenient as the "View Partial
Source". It was nice not to have to navigate thru an entire HTML page just
to find a small snippet of HTML.

Use the search box at the upper right in the Developer Tools to search for a
string in the bit you're interested in, no need to navigate through the
whole lot ;)

Hi,

You can capture injected markup from XMLHTTP responses that the Developer
tool does not show.

The other thing you can do is the Find Element By Click option on the Find
menu, go to IE and then click the element you want to see the source for -
it then gets selected in the Developer Tools.
