I am trying to copy the content of a FileMaker webviewer and paste it into Textmate so I can save it as an HTML file. The problem is that (OSX 10.8.5) will only let me paste from my clipboard as (simple text, or rich Text) but not as HTML.
It does the same thing if I try to copy and paste from Safari, FireFox or Chrome.
Is there a way to do this in OSX?

If you want to copy & paste HTML from your browser, you have to copy the actual HTML code that is shown when you click on "Show Page Source". Alternatively, you can save the whole page directly. In Safari, just click "Save as" in the File menu and make sure that "Format" is set to "Page Source" (not "Web Archive").
Nothing TextMate specific, though.

The point here is how did an application implement the function "Copy". As far as I know FileMaker's webview copies only plain text to the clipboard. The only chance I see so far is if the FileMaker webview is bound to a field (or you can change the database structure in such a way) then you can copy/export the content of that field.

From FileMaker on Windows I am able to right click on a FileMaker webviewer
and select copy "source". On the Mac I do not get this option but I can tell by looking at a preview of my clipboard (using an app called iClipboard) that I am copying the HTML (not just the plain or rich text). The problem is the "pasting step". OSX just won't let me paste the HTML code from the clipboard. Instead it strips away the HTML and pastes only the rich text.
Perhaps there is a third party app that can do this but so far I have not had any luck finding one.
