| Is this possible? Is there a program or something that allows a user to get the source code to a webpage without actually visiting it? |

Are you talking about asp source or html output? If you're talking asp source code, then the answer would be no since all the source is processed at the server then served to the client.
If you're talking about the server-built output, then Huw's answer would stand. |

| I'm talking about getting the source code for a site built in HTML, not asp or any of that. Like for example: my site (which hasnt been worked on for ages) which is basically just HTML. The site that I want to get the source to is a site that we send spammers/lamers to when in chat :P. It has a popup that comes up and a loop function, but it also has some other things, and I can't ever view the source before it shuts itself down :(. |

| You can use the ms xmlhttp object to get the code that comes back from a call. I can get you the code tomorrow when I get to work. It just requires MSXML 3.0 to be installed on the server executing the code.... |

| ok, you totally lost me there, sorry :(. Isn't there any other way :P? If you could put that into simpler terms that would be great, I do have MS XML 4.0 Parser SDK installed. My dad's technicians installed it when they fixed our computer (had some registry probs that prevented us from gettin on the net). I did a search for xmlhttp and httpget and xml, but I dont know what to do with them :( I read up on as much as i could, but im still lost... :'( |

| I read all those sites, but they all seem to deal with getting ASP from a site. And if I did use that, where do I put the code that they give to get the source? (I'm kinda new to this) |

No it doesn't get asp. It gets the source returned from the called page.
All you would need is something like this:
<%
Response.Buffer = True
Dim objXMLHTTP, xml
' Create an xmlhttp object:
Set xml = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
' Or, for version 3.0 of XMLHTTP, use:
' Set xml = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")
' Opens the connection to the remote server.
xml.Open "GET", "your page address goes here....", False
' Actually Sends the request and returns the data:
xml.Send
' xml.responsetext contains ALL the html output
' that would result from that calling page. You could just
' put it into a text variable if you wanted....
Response.Write xml.responseText
Set xml = Nothing
%>

| What do I do with that? I've never used XML or any other language but HTML. Do I put that in a page? or does it act like a program? |

| But you'll have to visit the site to do that, according to the first post you wanted to avoid doing that didn't you? |

| If you don't want to visit the site yourself because of pop-ups and all that, just make sure you have a good pop-up blocker installed and running, and disable JavaScript (and whatever else could be causing problems) before you go to the site. Then you shouldn't have any problems viewing the page(s) and getting to the source. |
