What is the page source?
The page source is the HTML file that the browser reads in order to display
the web page. In order to view the page source of most web pages, the user can choose Page Source from the
View menu, and the HTML file will open in another window. Being able to view the page source is very handy
because it enables the user to see how certain HTML files are written.
For example, let's say that you have visited a page and have been impressed
by the layout of the page. In order to emulate the layout, or at least learn how the layout was achieved, you can
open the page source and view the actual HTML file that produced the page. Since HTML formatting is not copyrightable
for the most part, it is often desirable to copy bits and pieces of the page source HTML to paste into your own
HTML documents.
