By default, Internet Explorer uses Notepad to display the source code of web pages. The following steps can be used to make HTML-Kit the program used by Internet Explorer 4 and higher to display source code. This makes it possible to take advantage of HTML-Kit's HTML syntax highlighting capabilities when viewing source.
Select "
Edit | Preferences
" from HTML-Kit's main menu, change to the "
Programs
" tab and click the "
File Associations / Explorer
" button. Check the
Use to View Source option and click "
OK
". Note that options under the "
Advanced system-wide settings
" should not be checked.
To test this feature, open Internet Explorer, right click and select "View Source" (or select "View | Source" from its main menu). To go back to Notepad for viewing source, uncheck the
Use to View Source option in HTML-Kit.
