Question about viewing site's source code

Hi Folks,
I always used to use the button at top of web page to check my source code, or if I wanted to make changes and couldnt remember where I had stored the original (it happens!) I would just start a new one and copy the source code from online.

I went to do just that the other day, and the button to find the source code had gone.
I can't remember even what it was, I think it said 'page' and then in a drop down it had 'view source'.

I am probably being dense here, but can anyone help with which button that was, and how to get it back?

Thanks,
Gordon

    cant help you with the button you are looking for but if you right click on an empty section of the page ie not a link or image theres an option to view page source in the right click menu

    If you're doing this to get at the source code, probably better off using an FTP program rather than the browser.

    This way you won't miss any code that appears in PHP files, as the browser will only show their HTML output.

    Typically in windows browsers: right click -> view page source

    Or use Firefox & Firebug, that'll give you much more info than just the HTML source code
