View External CSS and .js on Client Side

[Guadala Harry]

Is it possible to view the contents of an external CSS style sheet that is
referenced from any web page being viewed in the browser (IE6)? If so how?
The css file physically lives on the server, however, it must be sent down
to the browser so that the browser knows what rules to apply to the linked
HTML. Just wondering how to view and/or retrieve the css on the client side.

How about the same question - but for JavaScript (.js) file contents linked
to an HTML or aspx file?

Thanks.

Just type in the url of the stylesheet or .js file in to the address bar.
You should then either be able to save to disk or open the file in your
preferred editor.

Yes. For each external .css and .js file, the browser makes a separate
request to download the file, and then it stores the file into a
temporary folder on the user's machine.

There are two ways you can view the file:
1. Find the .css and .js file in the temporary folder. This can be
tricky
because the file will have a different name.

2. Navigate to the .css and .js file directly on the browser. When
prompted,
save the file on your machine and view it.

Hi,
you might want to grab this tool (free)
http://www.mrgrieves.com/cssbrowser/

It adds a new command to your right click menu in IE "List Stylesheets" that
lets you view a pages stylesheet(s) right in IE without having to download
them
