View Source not present on IE7 when viewing HTTPS pages

Hi,

I need to check the page source on a live app that is running over https - I've right clicked and the view source option isn't available. I've got around this with firefox for the minute, but it is driving me insane! We are all running XP and the PDC is running SBS2003 R2.

Other users in our domain do have the option, but it seems that Domain Admins don't.

Any ideas?!

Do you opening that on server OS or on Windows XP?

If it is on server, try removing IE enhanced security from add/remove programs on that server.

When standing in IE7 press the "Alt" key > View > Source.

Hi,

Thanks for your responses:

Cro0707 - This happens on any client machine (XP) as well as on the server.

snusgubben - I tried that and the option is also greyed out on that menu as well as the right click menu.

Thanks for your help so far.

Check Group Policy (start > run > gpedit.msc) on your DC and see if any group policy is denying it.

Thanks CroO707 - to save anyone looking it's Tools > Internet Options > Advanced

Then in the security section the option "Do not save encrypted pages to disk" must not be ticked.

Thanks again,
Emily
