How to View the Source Code of a Webpage in Safari on Mac

Behind every beautiful webpage is a complex code called source code that serves the design and the functionality of that webpage to its users. Sometimes you may get curious and would like to see exactly what code builds a webpage. Viewing the source code of a webpage is possible in almost all web browsers, and the same applies to Safari for Mac.

Safari for Mac does allow you to view the source code of a webpage; however, it does not work like Chrome or Firefox. To view the source of a page in Safari you need to first unlock a hidden menu in the browser.

Here’s how to enable that menu and then see the source of a webpage using multiple ways.

View the Source Code of a Webpage in Safari on Mac

1. Launch Safari on your Mac.

2. When Safari launches, click on the “Safari” menu on the top followed by “Preferences…”

3. When the Preferences panel opens, click on the tab that says “Advanced”. It should be the last one in the menu on the top.

4. Inside the Advanced tab you should see an option that says “Show Develop menu in menu bar.”

Checkmark the box for the option, and the menu should instantly be added to the menu bar in the browser.

The Develop menu is now unlocked in Safari on your Mac. Here’s how you can use various options it gives you to access the source code of a webpage.

1. Using the Develop Menu

In the menu bar of Safari, you should now see a new option called “Develop” that has just been unlocked. To view the source of a page, click on the “Develop” menu and then choose “Show Page Source.”

Safari should instantly show you the full source code of the webpage.

2. Using a Keyboard Shortcut

If you plan to access the source code of a number of webpages, you may want to use a keyboard shortcut as it will be much faster than clicking an option in the menu bar and selecting another option.

While a webpage is open in Safari, press the “Option + Command + U” key combination, and Safari should let you see the source code of the webpage.

3. Using the Right-Click Menu

If Safari is your primary browser, and you happen to be someone who is interested in viewing the codes behind various webpages, the guide above should help you do that without requiring you to leave your favorite browser.

When you right-click on any web page in Safari on Mac, it doesn't reveal the Show Page Source and Inspect Element buttons. To see these, you need to enable the Develop menu---we'll show you how to do that.

Once you've enabled the Develop menu, right-clicking a blank space on any website will reveal the Inspect Element and Show Page Source buttons. These allow you to take a look at the source code of any website, which is useful for things like downloading images from websites and debugging code or finding out what it looks like behind any site (for website designers).

You can easily turn on the Develop menu in Safari by following a couple of steps. Open Safari on your Mac and click the "Safari" button in the menu bar.

Next, select "Preferences." Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcut Command+, (comma). This will also open up Safari preferences.

Go to the "Advanced" tab.

Check the box for "Show Develop Menu in Menu Bar."

Now the Develop menu will appear between Bookmarks and Window at the top.

Apart from being able to view the page source, this will allow you to access developer-focused features, such as disabling JavaScript on any website.

Once you've enabled the Develop menu, there are a couple of ways to view the page source in Safari.

Open any website in Safari and right-click the blank space on the page. Now, select "Show Page Source." You can also get to this menu by using the keyboard shortcut Option+Command+u.

If you're looking for images or other media elements from any web page, Safari makes it easy to find these. In the left-hand pane, you will see various folders such as Images, Fonts, etc. Click the "Images" folder to quickly find the photos that you need.

After selecting an image, you can view its details easily by opening up the details sidebar. The button to open this is located at the top-right of the console, just below the gear icon. You can also open this with the shortcut Option+Command+0.

Click "Resource" at the top of the details sidebar to view details, such as the size of the image and its full URL.

You can change the position of the page source console easily, too. There are two buttons at the top-left of this console, right next to the X button. Click the rectangle icon to move the console to a different side within the browser window.

If you'd like to open the page source console in a separate window, you can click the two-rectangles icon. This will detach the console and open it in a separate window.

To check out the code for any specific element on the page, you can right-click that element and select "Inspect Element." This will take you directly to the code for the element that you selected.

Whenever you're done looking at the code, click the X button to close the page source console and return to browsing on Safari. You can also check out how to view a website's page source in Google Chrome  here.

Troubleshooting, how to view page source in safari on mac.

Viewing a web pages source code in Safari, and other web browsers, is a fairly routine activity for many people who work with the web for a living or even as a hobby. Unlike some other browsers, to view page source in Safari you must first enable a developer toolset for the browser to be able to access the view web page source feature.

This tutorial will demonstrate how to view a web pages source in Safari on Mac OS. This applies to all versions of Safari and MacOS.

How to View Page Source in Safari for Mac

Here is how you can view a web pages source in Safari on MacOS:

• First, enable the Safari Develop menu by going to the Safari menu, choosing “Preferences”, going to “Advanced” and checking the box to enable the developer menu

• Next, in any Safari window, navigate to the web page whose source you wish to view and inspect
• Pull down the “Develop” menu at the top of the screen and select “Show Page Source” from the menu options

• The web web pages source will appear on screen in the web inspector Sources section, a web developer toolkit built into Safari

Aside from viewing page source, you can also use the Develop menu to accomplish many other web useful tricks and developer tasks, including disabling Javascript and clearing Safari cache amongst myriad other functions and capabilities that are geared towards advanced users and developers, like finding embedded files in pages .

How to View Page Source by Keyboard Shortcut in Safari on Mac

After you have the Develop menu enabled in Safari, you can also use a keyboard shortcut to quickly view any web page source in the Safari browser for Mac:

• Navigate to the web page you wish to view the page source for
• Press Command + Option + U keyboard combination to view the page source

The keyboard shortcut for viewing page source will open the web inspector tool, just like accessing it from the Develop menu.

If you’re an advanced user of Safari, enabling the Develop menu is likely one of the first things you do when you launch the browser for the first time.

For what it’s worth, the Chrome browser and Firefox browsers also have similar web element inspector capabilities, but obviously we’re focusing on Safari for Mac here.

The Developer functions in Safari for Mac are not available for iPhone or iPad (yet anyway), but if you’re interested in gaining source viewing options on the mobile side you can use this javascript trick to view page source in iOS and ipadOS versions of Safari.

I appreciate how you made achieving this goal simple and clear. Out of all the search results I reviewed on this subject the information is the only one that has value. Thanks

I learn something from more than 90% of what you send me in your newsletters. My wife and myself are 70yrs old and we aren’t very computer literate. We both have MacBook Air laptops. They are new and running macOS Catalina 10.15.7 We are reluctant to upgrade to macOS Big Sur. I’m collecting everything I can find that you print about Big Sur. Once we’re comfortable, I think we may try it. I’m writing to thank you for what you do for us and you ask for nothing. ThankYou! ~Peter~

5 Ways to View Page Source on iPhone or iPad [Inspect]

It is quite easy to view HTML page source code on Windows PC or Mac, but you don’t always hold your computer. For iOS users, you always have your iPhone around. It would be more convenient to view page source on iPhone or iPad. Actually, you can do it without third-party apps.

In this post, I will show you 5 ways to show webpage source code on iOS devices and even inspect elements. Sounds great? Keep reading to learn how. 

Method 1: Create a View Source Shortcut 

The first I recommend is to create a View Source shortcut that is available in Share Sheet, so you can easily access it from Safari. Shortcuts is a stock app in iOS 13 or new versions for automation. There are many amazing pre-made shortcuts that you can get from the internet. 

Here I will show you how to make one to view HTML source code step by step. You can refer to the steps below or the video.  If you don’t want to make it by yourself, you can also click this link to add it to your Shortcuts Library. 

Step 1. Open the Shortcuts on your iPhone or iPad. Tap on the “+” icon to create a new one. 

Step 2. Tap on the three-dot icon and enable the option “Show in Share Sheet”. Tap Done to go back to the new shortcut. 

Step 3. Type “html” in the search bar and drag the “Make HTML from Rich Text” action from the search results to the shortcut.

Step 4. Type “quick look” in the search bar and drag the “Quick Look” action to the shortcut. 

Step 5. Tap “Done” to save the shortcut and change the shortcut name to “View Source”.

Step 6. Go to Safari and open the web page where you want to view the source code. Tap the Safari Share button and select the “View Source” shortcut that you just created. 

Shortcuts only accept Safari web pages, so if you want to view source code on Chrome or other web browsers, keep reading to find other alternative methods. 

Method 2: Safari Bookmark Trick

Another way to view source code is via Safari bookmark. You can use bookmark to run a javascript and it will show the source code of any web page. 

Step 1. Copy the script. You can go to this Github page and copy the script or copy the script below. 

Step 2. Tap your browser (Chrome or Safari) Share button and select Add Bookmark. It doesn’t matter which web page you add. You just need to create a new bookmark for further usage. 

Step 3. Tap on the Bookmark icon and locate the new bookmark that you just created.

Step 4. From there, tap Edit and change the new bookmark name to “View Page Source” and the URL to the script that you copied before. 

Step 5. Go to the webpage where you want to view source code. Tap the Bookmark icon and select the View Page Source bookmark that you just saved. 

Then it will display the source code of that web page. If you use Chrome, it is even simpler because you can change the bookmark URL on Step 2. 

Method 3: DevTools Extension for Safari

If you also need to inspect elements, you can use a Safari extension for iPhone or iPad. There are a few of extensions that allows you to inspeact elements, including DevTools Extension, Web Inspector, and Achoo HTML Viewer & Inspector (Paid).

Let me take DevTools Extension as an example to show you how:

Step 1. Open AppStore and search for “DevToools Extension” or simply click on this link to install it.

Step 2. Once installed, go to Settings Safari > Extensions to enable DevTools Extension.

Step 3. Open Safari and visit any web page that you want to inspect. Tap on the AA icon from the address bar and select DevTools Extension.

Step 4. You will see a gear icon on the page. Tap on it and you will see the Developer Tools like on Desktop browser. When done, you can always click on the gear icon again to close Developer Tools.

Method 4: A Nice Browser That Spports View Source

Unfortunately, Chrome for iOS does not allow viewing page source. Alternatively, You can use Via Browser. It is a nice browser for iPhone and iPad that allows you to view page source and inspect elements.

Via Browser is also available for Android, so you can also use it to view page source on Android . Once you have the browser, you can tap the three bars icon on the bottom right and select Tools > View Source. It will open a new tab with the source code of your current page.

In addition, Via browser enables you to run userscripts and change user agent. As you know, some web apps only works on Desktop. If you use Via browser to change user agent to MacOS or Windows, then you can use Desktop web app on your iPhone or iPad.

Method 5: View Source App for iOS

You can also download a dedicated app for viewing HTML source code. For that, I recommend the free app View Source , which is designed for iPhone. Once you installed this app, you will see an option View Source in your Web Browser (Safari or Chrome) Share Sheet. You can simply tap on it to see the source code. 

In addition, it can also work as a standalone app. Within the app, you can input any webpage URL and the app will load its source code automatically. 

These 5 methods all work great on iOS devices. You can use any of them to view page source on iPhone or iPad based on your preference. For me, I prefer the Shortcuts method because Shortcuts allows you to customize it for all kinds of possibilities.

How to view the HTML source code of a web page on Mac, iPad, and iPhone

Do you want to see what’s under the hood of web pages you visit? Check out how to view a page’s source code on Mac, iPad, and iPhone.

Whether you dabble in small-time web development or you just have the general interest of digging around in code to see how things work, there may be times when you want to see the HTML source code behind a specific web page.

It’s possible to do this from Safari (or other browsers) on your Mac, and for iPhone or iPad, you will have to use dedicated third-party apps.

View the source code of a website

Here are the steps for macOS and iOS.

The first step to being able to see the HTML code of a site is to enable Develop mode , a mode that Apple hides by default as the company assumes only developers would want to tinker with these options.

Enable Develop mode in Safari:

1) Open Safari and click Safari > Settings or Preferences from the top menu bar.

2) Go to the Advanced tab.

3) At the bottom, check the box that says Show features for web developers or Show Develop menu in menu bar .

In the menu bar, you will now see a new tab called Develop .

Show page source code:

Now that you have enabled this developer mode, you can access the source code of a web page in three different ways:

• With the web page open, go to Develop in the menu bar and select Show Page Source .
• On the web page for which you want to see the source code, press the Option + Command + U keys simultaneously.
• This is probably the easiest option. Simply Control-click or right-click on an empty area of the page and select Show Page Source .

When performing any of these actions, the source code of the page will then appear at the bottom of your Safari window. From there, you can inspect all you want.

On iPhone or iPad

If you want to view a web page’s source code from your iPhone or iPad, you will want to use an app to assist you. Most modern apps make this process easy and include useful syntax highlighting so you can better understand what you’re looking at.

We recommend using HTML Viewer Q , which is a free download from the App Store. Once installed, follow these steps to view a web page’s source code:

1) Launch HTML Viewer Q and tap the Link button at the top right of the app.

2) Enter the full URL of a web page you want to see the source code of, then tap the Go button. We will use Amazon for this example.

3) Once the page loads, tap on the Code button at the top left of the app.

You are now viewing the source code of the web page you selected. You can tap any of the numbers at the top of the app to change between different font sizes, i.e., 9pt, 12pt, 16pt, etc., and you can also use the Search button to search for any keywords or syntax you might be specifically looking for.

The app also lets you copy the HTML code so you can paste it into any other app.

This feature empowers the Curious Georges out there with the ability to see what makes a web page tick, but this is also an invaluable tool for web developers, novice or experienced, who want a better understanding of the code behind a web page or simply want to troubleshoot their own site.

From the dropdown menu, select "Show Page Source" or use the keyboard shortcut "Option + Command + U." This action will open a new window or tab displaying the complete source code of the webpage.

How to view source code of a webpage on your iPhone or iPad

Published 25 Sep 2014

We’re big fans of iOS 8’s new Extensions framework, and a new Extension by developer Paul Hudson lets you view the source code for a webpage, right within Safari.

You could view source code of a webpage previously, but you needed a dedicated app, and had to open the page in that app. This extension lets you view the syntax highlighted source code (HTML, Javascript and CSS) without leaving Safari.

Here’s how you do it:

• Download and install View Source from this App Store link ($0.99) .
• Open the app once, and then hop back to Safari.
• Open the webpage whose source you want to view in Safari.
• Tap on the Share button to bring up iOS 8’s Share sheet.

• The second row of icons contains Action Extensions. Scroll to the right of this row to reveal the More icon, and tap on it.

• You should see a list of available extensions, scroll to the View Source extension, and enable it by turning on the toggle.

• Now tap on the View Source icon.

• You should now see a new screen with the source code of the page.

• You can copy the source code to your clipboard or send it as an email.

This could be very useful to web developers who want to have a peek at the source code of their site, while they’re on the go.

How to View the Source Code of a Web Page

View a web page's source code to diagnose errors

What to Know

• On most major browsers, you can access a site's source code by pressing Ctrl + U in Windows.
• On a Mac, press Cmd + Option + U within most major browsers or Cmd + U in Firefox.
• On Android, use the view-source: URL tweak to view source code. On Safari for iOS, this isn't supported.

Although web browsers interpret the Hypertext Markup Language files and Cascading Style Sheets that make the web appear as it does, a hotkey or URL tweak forces browsers to display the source code of that page in a new tab or window. Although most people rarely need to examine the source code, developers use this perspective to troubleshoot layout inconsistencies or to fix bugs on a website.

How to View Source in a Desktop Browser

For all the major desktop browsers — Google Chrome , Microsoft Edge , Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Vivaldi—press Ctrl+U to open a new tab that displays the raw HTML of the page you're on. On a Mac , press Cmd+Option+U or Cmd+U in Firefox.

Alternatively, all desktop browsers support a URL-specific tweak. Prepend the text view-source: to the URL to open the page in Source mode. For example, type view-source:https://www.lifewire.com to view the source code behind Lifewire's main landing page.

Prefer a mouse, or need to tweak the HTML on the fly? All the main browsers support a View Source command somewhere within its menu structure, and they also support a developer mode (named various things, and launched various ways) that permits real-time tweaking to how a page executes based on changes you make in the developer interface.

How to View Source on a Default Mobile Browser

The stock Android browser allows the view-source: URL tweak. On iOS, however, the stock Safari app does not support this feature. On Apple's platform, you'll need to launch a different browser or a source-code viewing app from the App Store.

Individual mobile browsers that you installed from your platform's app store behave differently. Consult the browser's documentation for specific procedures.

Safari iOS: comment afficher le code source des pages web sur son iPhone ou iPad

Voici un pas à pas pour ceux qui souhaitent afficher le code source (html, javascript, etc.) des pages web qui s’affichent sur leur appareil iOS, par exemple un iPhone ou un iPad.

Notre pas à pas aujourd’hui s’adresse plutôt aux développeurs web et ceux intéressés par certains aspects techniques parmi nos lecteurs. Vous est-il jamais arrivé de vouloir connaître le code source (html, javascript, etc.) d’un page web qui s’affiche sur votre iPhone ou votre iPad ? Cependant quand vous êtes sur Safari sur votre appareil iOS, il n’y a aucune option pour le faire comme sur un navigateur sur un ordinateur, où une option dans ce sens est disponible (le plus souvent dans le menu du clic droit). Vous allez me dire qu’il suffit simplement d’utiliser le navigateur sur votre ordinateur pour accéder au code source en question. C’est vrai pour certains sites mais de nos jours, de plus en plus de sites web proposent un affichage différent sur les appareils mobiles et sur les navigateurs standards. Donc si c’est le code mobile qui vous intéresse, il ne suffira pas de passer sur votre ordinateur. Fort heureusement, il existe plusieurs façons d’afficher le code source d’une page web mobile, directement sur l’appareil ou sur votre ordinateur. Suivez ce pas à pas pour tout savoir.

(Note: toutes les images de l’article peuvent être cliquées pour un agrandissement)

L’astuce Shaun Inman/ Ole Michelsen

Avec cette première méthode nous allons directement afficher le code source dans Safari iOS en utilisant une petite astuce et du code proposé par Shaun Inman. L’astuce consiste à utiliser un marque-page enrichi avec du JavaScript. Notez bien avant de commencer à utiliser cette astuce que l’adresse et le contenu html du site web dont vous essayez de voir la source seront transférés vers http://www.shauninman.com. Si cela ne vous convient pas, passez à une autre méthode pour afficher la source.

Cela étant dit la première chose à faire est de naviguer sur votre appareil iOS, en utilisant Safari vers la page web de cet article et de copier le code source suivant:

javascript:location=’http://shauninman.com/vs/?url=’+escape(location)

Une fois le code copié, suivez les instructions sous les images.

Naviguez vers n’importe quelle page web avec Safari sur iOS puis utilisez le bouton des actions disponibles au bas de la page pour créer un signet/marque-page. Notre illustration provient d’iOS 7, sur les autres versions d’iOS, cela peut être légèrement différent.

Dans le menu des marques-pages, utilisez Ajouter un signet.

Safari vous propose par défaut comme nom pour votre signet celui de la page web que vous étiez en train de visiter. Il vaut mieux pour plus de clarté renommer ce signet avec un nom plus explicite. Par exemple, appelons le signet « Code Source ». Une fois le changement de nom opéré, appuyez sur Enregistrer.

De retour sur la page web, utilisez maintenant le bouton des signets/marque-page pour lister les signets déjà enregistrés.

Évidemment celui que nous venons juste de créer doit apparaître. Cliquer sur Modifier au bas de la page.

Choisir maintenant le signet « Code Source » que nous avons crée afin de le modifier.

Ce que nous voulons modifier cette fois c’est la partie qui contient l’url. Il faut effacer l’url actuelle qui ne nous intéresse pas et le remplacer par le code JavaScript que nous avons copié en mémoire en commençant le pas à pas au dessus.

Effacer l’url actuelle puis cliquez sur la zone de texte vide afin de pouvoir coller le contenu du presse papier et faites colle. Vous devez voir apparaître le code JavaScript comme ci-dessus. Cliquez maintenant sur Terminé pour enregistrer votre modification.

Une fois que vous avez fini avec la procédure ci-dessus, vous avez maintenant un outil puissant pour afficher le code source des pages web. Vous n’avez à effectuer la procédure au dessus qu’une seule fois. Une fois le marque-Page « Code Source » modifié et enregistré, vous pouvez simplement l’utiliser autant que vous voulez. Pour l’utiliser, rien de plus simple: naviguez vers n’importe quel site web dont vous souhaitez connaître le code source, puis cliquez sur le bouton des marques-pages/signets.

Dans l’interface, cliquez simplement sur le signet « Code Source ».

Et voilà, le code JavaScript se met en marche et le code source de la page web que vous visitez actuellement apparaît à l’écran !

Voilà une méthode élégante et efficace pour afficher le code source d’une page web mobile. A noter qu’Ole Michelsen propose aussi une astuce équivalente mais nous n’avons pas réussi à la faire fonctionner avec notre version de Safari iOS. Cependant, vous pouvez également visiter son astuce: Ole Michelsen .

Utiliser une application dédiée

Une seconde solution pour afficher le code source d’une page web sur son appareil iOS consiste simplement à utiliser une application dédiée. C’est relativement simple à mettre en oeuvre mais il y a un inconvénient: si vous naviguez dans Safari et que vous avez besoin d’afficher le code source, il faut sortir de Safari, entrer dans l’application dédiée et naviguer à nouveau vers la page dont vous souhaitez voir le code source. Voici une liste d’applications que vous pouvez utiliser:

• Atomic Web Browser (navigateur complet avec affichage code source)
• iSource Browser (navigateur complet avec affichage code source)
• iSource Browser (version limitée)
• HTML Viewer

Si vous voulez une application tout en un, un navigateur complet tourné vers les développeurs comme Atomic Web Browser ou iSource Browser qui permettent de voir le code source directement mais également de réaliser toutes les autres tâches de navigation.

Voici le code source tel qu’il apparaît dans iSource Browser .

Utiliser le mode Agent Utilisateur de Safari

La troisième solution que vous pouvez utiliser ne se passe pas sur votre appareil iOS mais sur votre ordinateur. Safari dispose d’un mode Développement qui vous permet d’afficher une page web comme si vous étiez sur un appareil mobile puis d’en afficher le code source. C’est très pratique mais cette option n’est pas activée par défaut sur Safari et il faut disposer d’un ordinateur.

Sur Mac utilisez Spotlight (la loupe à côté de l’horloge) pour lancer Safari. Commencer à taper « Safari » et choisissez Safari dans la liste.

Lorsque Safari est lancé par défaut, vous ne pouvez pas accéder aux menu avancé de développement.

Utilisez le menu « Safari » puis accédez aux préférences.

Dans les Préférences, naviguez jusque vers l’onglet des Options Avancées.

Au bas des options avancées, cochez la case Afficher le menu Développement dans la barre des menus comme ci-dessus puis quittez les préférences en cliquant sur le bouton rouge en haut à gauche.

A présent, un nouveau menu appelé Développement est apparu.

Dans ce menu, repérer l’option Agent d’utilisateur. Cette option vous permet de naviguez comme si vous étiez sur un autre système/navigateur. Parmi ces systèmes, vous avez les appareils mobiles d’Apple comme l’iPhone ou l’iPad mais également des navigateurs concurrents comme Internet Explorer, Firefox ou Chrome décliné sur Mac ou PC. C’est donc une fonctionnalité assez puissante.

Choisir comme Agent d’utilisateur un appareil mobile Apple comme l’iPhone. Safari va faire comme si vous étiez sur Safari iOS 5.1 dans notre exemple.

A présent si vous naviguez vers une page web, Safari vous l’affiche comme si vous étiez vraiment sur l’appareil mobile sélectionné. Si vous naviguez sur un site qui change sa mise en page ou son affichage en fonction de l’appareil, vous verrez une différence entre cette version et l’affichage normal. Pour afficher le code source de la page, toujours dans le menu Développement, il suffit de choisir l’option Afficher le code source de la page. Et voilà, un éditeur assez puissant apparaît et vous pouvez parcourir les balises comme vous le souhaitez.

Lier Safari mobile avec Safari

Une dernière solution consiste à lier Safari mobile sur votre appareil iOS avec Safari sur votre ordinateur. Pour cela vous aurez besoin du câble USB de votre iPhone.

Naviguez tout d’abord sur une page web sur votre iPhone. Puis connectez votre iPhone et votre Mac via USB avec le câble fourni avec votre appareil.

Lancez à présent Safari sur votre ordinateur tout en le mode développement activé (voir la section précédente pour une explication de comment faire cela). Dans le menu développement, le nom de votre appareil iOS devrait apparaître, ici un iPhone. Si vous choisissez votre appareil, une liste de toutes les pages ouvertes actuellement sur votre Safari mobile apparaît ! Il suffit de choisir la page dont vous souhaitez afficher le code source dans cette liste.

Notez que Safari sur votre appareil mobile réagit interactivement à vos choix sur Safari sur le Mac en surlignant l’écran.

Sur votre Mac le code source de la page que vous êtes en train de naviguer sur Safari mobile apparaît !

Vous pouvez passer votre souris sur des passages de votre code et comme par magie…ces passages sont surlignés sur votre appareil iOS ! Assez pratique.

Et voilà, afficher le code source d’une page web mobile ne devrait plus avoir de secret pour vous. Si vous avez d’autres méthodes n’hésitez pas à commenter ci-dessous.

View Source Code in Safari with an Action Extension

Developed by Paul Hudson, View Source is a $0.99 Universal app that, as the name largely implies, lets you view the source code for webpages (HTML, CSS, and JavaScript) in iOS’ Safari with an action extension.

In the years I’ve been running MacStories and since I switched to the iPad as my primary device, I’ve often needed to debug problems on the site by looking at its source code output. Before I figured I could use Python to fetch a page’s source, I was forced to ask my colleagues or my web developer to grab the source code for me because “I was on the iPad”. In spite of iPhones and iPads being required test devices for web developers these days, Apple never added native developer features to iOS that wouldn’t need a Mac to work. I was stuck with my Python scripts and help from friends over iMessage.

With iOS 8 extensions, apps like View Source can be possible thanks to direct integration with Safari and access to the DOM . Once enabled in the browser’s share sheet, View Source will bring up a full-screen panel with source code you can read and copy. A share button lets you copy all text to the clipboard, send as email, or choose one from eight themes that include dark backgrounds and lighter styles. All these themes support syntax highlighting – a better visualization than my old scripts that didn’t support highlighting at all.

If you don’t want to run View Source as an extension (though that’s the biggest advantage), you can also use it as a standalone app. In that case, the app will simply let you browse websites manually (just like Linky ).

I wish that View Source could do more. Notably, there is no support for search or browsing of specific HTML tags, which combined with the lack of line-wrapping makes it difficult to read source code as you need to constantly scroll horizontally on the screen (especially a problem on the iPhone’s smaller screen in portrait mode). I’m hoping that a text reflow mode will be added soon, and I wouldn’t mind the more advanced options for viewing source code found in Mac apps such as Coda .

View Source isn’t perfect, but it’s a good start. Being able to view source code directly in Safari is a much better experience than having to use a dedicated app that’s not your main browser. Once again, developers are still figuring out the best ways to work with extensions in iOS 8, and View Source is yet another example of these new possibilities.

View Source is $0.99 on the App Store .

View Source for Safari on iOS with Shortcuts

I love view-source , it's a nifty super power of the web that nearly all mobile browsers are trying to kill. Not exactly sure why. View-source is what got me into web development because I could see how other people structured their pages, and at the time I started web development it was pretty much the only way to debug web pages.

I've also been using my iPad Pro whilst I am not at work for the next month or so... It's a great device, and it appears to be locked down in a way that restricts me from doing exactly what I want... this is until I found out about the Shortcuts app that is built in to iOS.

Shortcuts let you build small utilities, programs and automations that perform actions on certain user gestures like "Share a Page", or "Open an app", or "Connect to WiFi".

Now that I can share URLs to an "app", I can do a lot of things that are not really possible on mobile devices.

I created this "View Source" shortcut that you can use (if you trust me) to Share a page from Safari or Chrome and quickly view the source.

Here it is in action:

There is one major caveat. It doesn't inspect the exact instance of the page you are running, it has to the page in a 3rd party site that I built ( https://www-source.glitch.me ) / source - this means that if you are logged in, or there is any state that is shared (such as cookies) then it will not display the same content that you are viewing.

It's kinda hard to share the source code of a Shortcuts, so here is a screenshot:

I really hope that Safari (and Chrome) can deprecate the need for this shortcut.

• Sorry Safari team
• Creating a quick launcher for Android using the web
• Shiming Request.formData in Safari
• Twitter is using PWA shortcuts
• Ricky Mondello: Adoption of Well-Known URL for Changing Passwords

I lead the Chrome Developer Relations team at Google.

We want people to have the best experience possible on the web without having to install a native app or produce content in a walled garden.

Our team tries to make it easier for developers to build on the web by supporting every Chrome release, creating great content to support developers on web.dev , contributing to MDN, helping to improve browser compatibility, and some of the best developer tools like Lighthouse, Workbox, Squoosh to name just a few.

I love to learn about what you are building, and how I can help with Chrome or Web development in general, so if you want to chat with me directly, please feel free to book a consultation .

How to view the html page source of a website in Safari

This is a bit of an advanced tip for web developers. Safari used to have a menu item called ‘View Page Source’. If you selected this you could see the HTML code of the website you were viewing.  This option has been removed from recent versions of Safari but you can re-enable it by turning on Safari’s Develop menu.

You can enable the extra menu in Safari by selecting ‘Preferences’ under Safari in the OS X menu bar  and then under the ‘Advanced’ pane select the checkbox that says ‘Show Develop menu in menu bar.’

Now you will see the following extra menu in Safari:

This contains useful tools for developers.

‘Show Page Source’ will show you the HTML page source code.

You can also Empty Caches from here, and even trick a webpage into thinking you are using a different browser to see if it renders differently.

If you change your mind just type the same command into terminal but with a ‘0’ at the ned instead of the ‘1’.
