It's becoming more and more common for web sites to use javascript to dynamically generate parts of their pages. Certainly the most common example is the Google ads that are displayed on many sites. A script is run, loaded from Google's servers, that prints out a little IFRAME to display the ad in. With this bookmarklet, you can view the generated source of a page, rather than the "source" that your browser downloaded from the web server.

This bookmarklet works *almost* perfectly. If the page you run it on contains a text area, it breaks. I wrote it to carefully deal with that situation, but loading it into a link, like above, un-does that trick. I'm working on how to fix that.
Fixed!

What a stupid typo =) The bookmarklet works correctly now!
