175156 - Mozilla *NEEDS* "view result source" option.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 60426

(Core Graveyard :: View Source, enhancement)

While doing any XSLT there is no way to access the result-source of a page.  As
the XSLT runs it is producing XHTML "source" that is being submitted to the
browser/layout engine.

It would be outstanding if that XHTML image were saved for a view-source-like
operation.  The display would be called up by a separate menu item *or* perhaps
the expanded source would be at the bottom of the view-source window after a
separator.

The existing see-the-xml is necessary, the see-what-the-xml-became would make
xsl:stylesheet design hugely simpler.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. load up any XML page
2. click view->page source
3. bemaon the absence of html conversion data 8-)

What we need is some way to view the source of the current dom. This is covered
by bug 60426. The workaround for now is to select the entire page (ctrl-a on
windows) and then select "view selection source" from the contextmenu
