Is there an easy way to view FULL page source???

What I mean is - you often go to a website page such as http://www.site.com/news/ - but the actual full address is
http://www.site.com/news/default.asp - or some other ending.

Is there an easy way to find out this full address????

typically this occurs because of a hidden frame or the use of a main frame in one way or another.

to find what the page is called, simply click the mose in the page that you wish to identify so that it is the "live" page and then right click --> properties --> viola.

hopefully this helps!

Slight correction to Nathan's point : although he is correct in the mouse-click action, as well as the possibility of a hidden frame, most of the time if you see something like

http://www.webhostlink.com/news/

and it really is

http://www.webhostlink.com/news/index.html

that's because the page is the 'index' or 'default' page for that directory/sub-directory, and as a result it doesn't need to appear by default. It's usually index.html/index.php on *nix boxes and default.html/default.asp/default.cfm etc. on NT boxes.

Have I confused you now? :D

In framed layouts, right-click and Open Frame in New Window.

And you might also stop by http://www.CodeLifter.com [shameless self promotion -- the moderators may now shame me for pleasure].

Yeh, I know all the stuff about default, right click to view and frames etc . Just wondered if there was a quicker way to find out the default rather than pluggin in index.htm, index.html, default.asp etc, etc until you get the right one, as when you right click on properties the URL still doesn't show the extension.

No big problem, just looking for a quicker solution.

Strange...

Netscape:
View -> page info
MIE
File -> properties

It does show the extension to me.

Even on a page where the extension is not shown in the URL bar?

I just get whats shown in the URL bar in properties.
