Open from the web?

In Homesite, if you want to view the source code of a web site, you can copy
the URL and click File -> Open from Web...
This will display the code for the page in the workspace. Is it possible to
do this in Dreamweaver MX 2004?

As Murray said, No. I keep a "crap" file on my desktop for this kind of
thing. Takes just 2 seconds to File > Save As.. and it always points to the
crap file, where I save it for review. That way I can even look offline
because all necessary files are downloaded into the crap folder as well.
This is what I use to review people's pages from this NG. The file is easy
to find and I have code AND files.

Just an alternative suggestion to opening the code in Homesites.

Another alternative is to open a page from TopStyle. hit File > Open from
web > type in the url of the html page.
