How to view the source code?

[triver]

I'm not an experienced web designer so bear with me.

I came across a web page that made me very curious how the author wrote such page.

Is it possible to view the source code of the following page?

http://www.optavia.com/shoes1/van_shoes.html

When you click on it, it takes to another site and you can never view the source code of the original page. I'm assuming that the author uses affiliate tracking code before it gets to the new site.

Perhaps, this is a way to hide the source code?

I want to learn how he wrote the code for this page.
If there is any way to view it, I will greatly appreciate your help.

S'alright Anthony, I read your instructions wrong, you basically do the same as I was suggesting for the <A tag>. However it still doesn't work with IE - but then neither does my view> source command either... time to clear out all my temp files and programes again I think.

It works in Moz for me though, ta.

That's odd. It has worked against all types of disabled sources for me in every case ONLY in IE...

Cleared out my temporary files and programes and it's back to working again. *bashes her IE window as if it was a rickety tv set*

Like I said, it doesn't work for this site, since this link is redirected as well, but it's a nice geeky bit of code to show off your source code or to get hold of the source when IE (as mine does from time to time) stops letting you view source and you don't have another browser handy.

Spirited :D

P.s. Anthony, I couldn't get that tip to work. What browser do you use - or am I doing something wrong?

gah my IE does the same thing lol, that's why I got mozilla handy

I wouldn't expect this from microsoft lol

if you wouldnt expect that youd be making a mistake

hmm, i can view the source fine, but the top part looks like it might have been encrypted. (it could just be this PC's gay IE 2.3, lol :P)
