View Source disabled

[jjob]

Whilst searching the site for a way to disable the 'back button' I noticed a number of posts saying it is impossible to disable menu buttons, in particular the View. As I write, I have in my browser a page that somehow has disabled the View source from both the menu and the right mouse click. It is only this page, if I move off to other pages I can see the source, so I don't believe it is the 'temp/offline files' problem, although it could be a bug of some sort. If I can find the developer (he's not around at the moment) I'll find out if this is intended and if so, how it's done. It hasn't actually stopped me seeing the code however, as I saved the page as an HTML file and looked at it, but still can't see how it is done.

trust me, it isn't disabled by anything on that page. try clearing your Temporary Internet Files and view the page again. also view in Mozilla.

Hi Jeff,

I have cleared the temp files, and can move off this page into sub menu pages where View Source works - but I go back to menu page and neither work, and it appears to be the same for a colleague next to me. I wondered if it was some form of modal window, but can't find anything in the source that looks as though it's intended to do this, mind you I've not spent masses of time looking, as I hope to see the developer when he comes back from holiday. Also can't view in Mozilla as this is on an intranet and only IE allowed.

regards

John

The line

Response.CacheControl = "no-cache"

is the culprit, removing this from the top of the ASP source code lets me get to the browser HTML source.

what page is it

I'm not sure what you mean by "what page", so if this reply is not the answer to your question, my apologies. The page it's an HTML/Javascript page on an Intranet, viewed in IE, rendered from VBScript on ASP.
