View Source has a kink vs Save Page As

more options

It seems when I do a view source, the source shown is what would be the source if I had pressed the F5 (refresh) key. When I use File - Save Page As - I get the source for the current page as shown. For view source I prefer the latter.

Better, but does not include header information, etc.

What do you mean by header information? The selection source for a full page selection should include everything from <html> through </html>. The part above the body isn't highlighted in blue since there's no way to physically select it, but it still should be listed.

On a site that doesn't let you use the keyboard shortcut for Select All, you can display the classic menu bar and choose the function from the Edit menu.

If I understand your question correctly, the workaround for viewing the source as altered by scripts in the page is:

  • select the entire page using, for example, Ctrl+a (the focus needs to be in the page body, so you may need to first click a blank area toward the edge)
  • right-click the page and choose View Selection Source

This is slower than View Source, but should have the extra bits and pieces you're looking for.

You can also use the left panel in the Inspector (e.g. right-click the body element and use Edit As HTML or use a Copy item).
