Can't view page source in IE6

IE6 has a bug that sometimes makes it so that you can't view the page source. You click the link to view the source, and nothing happens. This is caused by the cache in IE getting too large so that new operations like this can't be performed.

If this happens to you, the way to fix it is to delete your temporary internet files. Go to Tools -> Internet Options... -> General and in the Temporary Internet Files section, click on Delete Files.

You can actually keep this from happening by having IE flush the files every time it is closed. To set this, got to Tools -> Internet Options... -> Advanced -> Security and check the box that says "Empty Temporary Internet Files folder when browser is closed".
