Viewing Sourcecode

  1. In Internet Explorer, follow the link below to Barack Obama's Louisiana page http://my.barackobama.com/page/content/lahome .
  2. On the menu bar, click on the view menu and choose source.
  3. The source code for the webpage will open in notepad.
  4. Save the file to your desktop (notice the file name).
  5. Close the file.
  6. On your desktop, right click on the file (the one that you just closed).
  7. Choose Open with from the menu, then choose Wordpad.
  8. With the source code open in Wordpad, click on the Print Preview Icon (this is the Icon with a magnigying glass in front of a piece of paper; It is inbetween the printer icon and the binocular icon).

The purpose of viewing the source code in this way is for us to view page numbers, and thereby be able to go through the document together.

Our goal is to isolate the source code for the Louisiana page from the code that is repeated on each page.
