    Thanks Craig. Sounds like the right direction. I've never tried the HTML-to-Text file format...so it never crossed my mind. I'll give it a try sometime.

    If/when we add this it will return exactly what the server does. We already have a tweak for seeing just the text: the HTML-to-Text file format.

    I agree that just whatever is returned by the server would be best. It doesn't even have to be html. For example, if I entered:

    http://www.scootersoftware.com/vbull...nection-min.js

    I would like to see the javascript.

    I suppose it could be configurable as a tweak.

    Hello Aaron,

    I would be happy with the plain html source code (Post-server processing). Maybe a narrow developers view ;-).
    A textual and/or graphical compare would not be usefull for me.

    Good question. My 2 cents...I don't think it is realistic to expect BC to return code from the server...so that only leaves two options. Now, what would be more useful if I plugged this URL into BC3? <http://www.scootersoftware.com/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=17795&postcount=2>

    A visual representation of the website (select all, copy text):

    What kind of output would you expect in the Text Compare? Code from the server / View Source (Post-server processing)? A visual representation of the website?

    started a topic URL as file resource

    URL as file resource

    Just an Idea:

    I would like to enter a URL instead of a filename.
    So, it would not be longer necessary, to save the source of the web browser, search the file and compare it to an other file ...

    And I want to thank you for this masterpiece of software! Keep it going!
