The Source

Features & Instructions

Welcome, The Source is designed to provide general, and HTML-related reference tools exclusively for WebTV users. Follow the link at the bottom to visit the main page.

This site is not compatible with, nor recommended for PCs.

HTML Source Viewer: The idea is to save The Source page in Favorites (link below) and assign it an "F" Key. The address of the page you last visited is displayed in a text-input field. When you want to view the source-code of a page, press your F Key, then Return. That's it!
Image URL Extractor: If it's image URLs you're looking for, press the "View Images" button. FileDex will give you URL links and display the images.
Personalized Links: You can personalize The Source by configuring the links section to include your favorite webpages. Just click the button that says customize.
Image Sizer: If you're looking for the size of an image, load the image, then load The Source page. The image will appear along with a button for height and width.
If you'd prefer, you can also enter an image URL to view or experiment with different image sizes.
Spell Checker & Dictionary: Enter a word and Webster's database will correct spelling errors and give the definition of the word.
JavaScript Calculator: Quick, easy, and self-explanitory.
Logins: From this section you can login to various file managers and online email accounts. Your names and passwords can be stored, so you won't have to type them evey time.
Date & Time: Click the On button for the day, date, hours, minutes and seconds.
HTML Test Bed: You can also use this to test JavaScripts. Necessary tags are already in place so that you may cut and paste your results directly into a page editor.
Links: Links to other WebTV-related web sites and HTML reference pages.

Links to these additional tools within this
site can be found at The Source.
