While using the Preview view to view web pages, it is possible to temporarily edit the source of the page. This is handy for testing code, studying other people’s coding techniques, and many other things.

To edit a page in Preview mode, click on the View Source button at the bottom left corner of the status bar. You’ll see the source code for the page slide into view. Edit whatever you desire, and then click the View Source button again to re-enter Preview mode. Your changes will show up on the page.

Keep in mind that whatever changes you make are temporary, and aren’t transferable to the Text Editor view unless you copy and paste the edited code manually.
