[TxMt] Re: Copying and pasting a webpage as HTML?

[jgalt]

>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.
