Are there any freeware plugins that would help me view the HTML Source generated by ASP.NET?
Microsoft's Fiddler2 for IE
Or Firebug for FireFox
With these you see the real source generated by ASP.NET, not the mangled source as shown in a browsers 'view source' menu option
The Internet Explorer Developer Toolbar has many features. The Web Developer add-on for Firefox looks slick. Here is a walk through of using another add-on for FireFox.
If what your looking for is just to view the source, all browsers I am familiar with have that feature built in. Internet Explorer
You can use Internet Explorer's View Source button, under the 'Edit menu. Firefox has something similar under the View menu.
Edit: If you're looking for the source code for the application, you won't be able to see that no matter what you do. The server sends the client only what it wants the client to see. For ASP.NET, this means you'll see ASP.NET generated control IDs and the like. If you want to do this on your own without a web browser, try Wget.
You shouldn't have to look when that function is already built in to just about every single web browser out there. View Source is a standard feature.
Installing the Web Developer extension for Firefox will let you view 'generated' source (i.e. it includes changes made to the html by client side javascript etc..). Otherwise the standard 'view source' option available in any browser should suffice.

Good day.
So, here is my issue.
I'm currently using sharepoint 2010 for web applications, I am supposed to display pdf as part of a web page. Currently, the browser tends to download the pdf file instead of displaying it.
Content-disposition is already set to inline.
I've also used iframe, and src is pointing to custom httpHandler.
I've already added "application/pdf" MIME type in the list of AllowedInlineDownloadedMimeTypes as per the advice in this link http://www.pdfshareforms.com/sharepoint-2010-and-pdf-integration-series-part-1/.
However, the application still failed to display it, and it prompts the user to download the file instead.
I'm using mozilla firefox v12 and ie8 to test the application, they both exhibit the same behavior.
What else is missing? Thank you.
It's important to remember that not all browsers, especially older ones like Internet Explorer 8, have the ability to render PDF content inline. In these older browsers, this was generally accomplished through plug-ins like Adobe Reader or Foxit being installed on the client machine.
Basically, if you are using an older browser, your users will likely need one of these (or a similar) plug-in installed. Otherwise when the browser encounters a PDF file, it will serve it to the user, as it doesn't really know how to deal with it.
There is also a chance that this could be a permissions / settings issue similar to the one addressed in this related question. You may want to review over some of the discussions within that thread as well as this Sharepoint 2010 one, which details a a setting called "Browser File Handling" and how it's default value of "strict" can affect how PDFs and other files are accessed.
He came across the solution while looking at the "Web Application General Settings". There is a setting called Browser File Handling and by default it is set to strict.
I have a problem in my local pc with some grids in an asp.net website.
The first image is the testing server, and the grids are showing ok here.
The second image is the same page (sabe website, same vs solution) running on my pc(localhost).
What can be missing in my pc??
Thanks!
My initial thought would be to check whether the CSS file you are linking to is accessible in your local environment. Look in the source view of your web browser. You could also pull up IE Developer Tools (F12) and click the CSS tab.
Im working on a web-scraping project i know how to get certain data from target page through HtmlAgilityPack. But i dont know what to send in the Post information of that page. The page is not sending any information through querystring. There are three textboxes in that page, two checkboxes and a search button
when i inspect the button with firebug it gives following information
<img border="0" align="top" onclick="javascript:PVO_PId_Search(
document.ProtocolForm.searchplt,
document.ProtocolForm.towcheck.checked,
document.ProtocolForm.collateralcheck.checked,
document.ProtocolForm.selState[document.ProtocolForm.selState.selectedIndex].value,
document.ProtocolForm.selPltType[document.ProtocolForm.selPltType.selectedIndex].value)" onmouseout="this.className='flyOut'" onmouseover="this.className='flyOver'" alt="Search" value="PSearch" name="PSearch" onload="javascript:updateButtonWithOneTxtbox(document.ProtocolForm.searchplt,this,'v_images/Search_button.gif','v_images/Search_button_grey.gif');" src="v_images/Search_button.gif" class="flyOut">
Now my question is, Is there any tool or firefox addin available which i can use and monitor (or debug) what kind of Post information it is passing ?
You can use built-in Web Developer tools in Chrome and/or Safari, etc to inspect all http request/responses between your client (browser) and the (server) web site. You'll see it in the NETWORK inspector tools.
However, unless it's your site, or some worthy educational experiment, whether or not you can actually spoof (yes, that's what it really amounts to) a POST (or GET) to the site depends on whether or not it has some built in protections/validations that protect it from such attempts.
Update:
Just fire up Chrome and (on Windows) CTRL+SHIFT+I (Safari, its CTRL+ALT+I) and you should see the NETWORK INSPECTOR:
Update 2:
And just for reference, if you want network inspection that isn't dependent on a browser, Fiddler is always part of my personal tool kit.
Is there an editor similar to firebug in functionality that lets you edit the CSS directly from the browser and shows you the changes live, but also has the ability to save changes to the server through FTP or some other connection?
I've never used it myself, but you could try the free trial of Skybound Stylizer.
Here's a quote:
Online CSS Editing
Open any site, make
changes, then save back to the server
via FTP, SFTP, or a network share, or
others.
..
Stylizer's real-time CSS development
extends to 9 different integrated web
browsers. On Windows, Google Chrome,
Internet Explorer 6, 7 & 8, and
Firefox 2.0, 3.0, 3.5, 3.6 are
supported. On Mac, Safari is
supported.
..
The Stylizer workflow couldn't be
easier. Just open up the URL or the
HTML page you want to edit, the style
sheets are automatically extracted
from the page, and you're ready to
start making changes.
FireFile is what you are looking for.
the web developer toolbar for firefox allows you to do that -> https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/web-developer/
well.. it allows you to save the css but I'm not sure if it's through ftp. but you can use that in combination with expandrive
http://cssUpdater.com is what you really are looking for :)
Edit in FireBug, hit the "Sync now" button and reload your page.
I work in an area where the business users heavily depend on bookmarks to access their work-related web applications. Our standard browser is Internet Explorer v6. We have a new Flex application - when you add the site to Internet Explorer Favorites, then later try to access the site with the Favorites link, we get the following error message: "internet explorer cannot open the internet site http://our url. Operation aborted". If we then bring up the properties for the link and remove the trailing "#' from the url, the link works.
What is this trailing "#", and can it be removed? Is there a way to have Internet Explorer bookmarking to work for this site (other than manually editing the bookmark)? The problem doesn't occur in Firefox (but not everyone has access to that browser).
The trailing # is used to provide information to your client-side framework. It was originally meant to provide the ability to link to anchor points in an HTML document. It has been "hijacked" by JavaScript frameworks to provide state information to Flash and Flex applications.
The primary benefit of using # to navigate is that the browser doesn't navigate off the current page - meaning you only need to load your framework once. Traditional URLs would force an entire page reload.
Most likely you can't remove it. You should be able to provide a means for a secondary URL scheme that encodes what you need in a query string (?foobar=1).
You will need to configure server-side processing to either redirect the user to the hash URL or load the necessary information via a JavaScript hook to your Flex framework.
You might also look into the new Google Chrome plugin for IE.
You can turn this off in the compiler parameters in Flex Builder. Go into the project settings, then in "Flex Compiler" uncheck the box that says "Enable integration with browser navigation".
