Getting Dynamic HTML From a Page

One popular way to create a rich web experience is using DHTML with XMLHTTP to draw the UI instead of constantly hit the server again. Debugging this process, however, can be quite tedious as a View Source will only show the text sent from the server.

Sick of constantly typing javascript:{window.clipboardData.setData("Text",document.getElementsByTagName("html")[0].innerHTML);alert("Copied");} I in the Address bar, I just created a URL file and dropped in favorites, and it seems to work great. I'm sure a plugin work work much easier, but this works good enough for me.

Here's the URL file, you can save to your favorites and use it from there:

Feel free to make a plugin that loads this in a favorite text editor.
