Let's say I went to "Myspace."
Went to a profile, r-clicked and chose "view source."
What is that HTML coding? Is it the actual HTML for that page?
When viewing this, is the code actually accessible?
Can it be changed? (I've copied it and ran it through my HTML editor and made changes, but see ? above)
Say you copied it, changed it w/an editor, how could you replace the original w/the modified copy?
Thanks to all who respond. I just found out you can see these codes on most pages and I want to learn more.
Sincerely,
policetac

Yes, that is HTML code, but it is purely view only. You generally can't change it unless you have access to the login on the webserver, then you can upload the new code and view the changes. Generally, a page like one at MySpace can only be changed by the MySpace employees (unless you are a really good hacker)

Yes when you view source you are actually seeing the HTML codes for the site.
You can change the codes to your liking, its good to learn that way.
But the problem is, if you want to replace the HTML page you created, you cant, since the HTML page is hosted on a server which you do not have access to. But you can publish your own page either on your own Home Web Server like Microsoft IIS or Apache Web Server. :)
As for Myspace, im not a user of it, using friendster by the way.
If you are trying to decorate your own profile page with codes you have gotten from another person's page. That would be possible, if myspace has a customise your page using HTML, so that you can paste those codes.

Yes, that's the HTML code. For $20 you can get an HTML manual that will show you how to use all the various tags. Most HTML pages are private or protected, but you can go on Yahoo GeoCities and make your own free website, and experiment with the HTML.

Yes that is the HTML code for that particular page. You can modify it all you want in your HTML editor. You will not be able to post it back to that person myspace page unless you have their log in information.

Yes. That is the HTML code for that page.
Great way to lean HTML ....Look and see how someone else did it.
You can save that code and edit it with wordpad or notepad and use if for yourself.
If it is someone Else's webpage you can't upload it to their server. You can only upload web pages you create to your own server, usually hosted by your ISP.
