Doesn't need to show doctype, since it's only for viewing, though I could of course just prepend it.
outerHTML is supported in every browser that is usually supported, but you don't specify which you require:
| Feature | Firefox (Gecko) | Chrome | Internet Explorer | Opera | Safari |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Basic support | 11.0 (11) | 0.2 | 4.0 | 7 | 1.3 |
That only leaves out pre-11 Firefox Versions, which are still in use out there. Nice enough.
or just use view-source:<url> :D)
You can just do this:
function(){open('data:,'+encodeURI(document.documentElement.outerHTML))}
Much shorter...

@williammalo You're absolutely right, thanks :)
I have no idea why my brain insisted on double escaping...
how about instead:
function(){with(document)body.innerText=documentElement.outerHTML}
Data URL's default MIME is text/plain;charset=us-ascii while encodeURI returns escaped Utf-8 string. So non-english text will most probably be “broken”.
Use it as a bookmarklet:
<!doctype html>
<title>viewSource</title>
<a href="javascript:(function(){open('data:,'+encodeURI(document.documentElement.outerHTML))})()">view source</a>

Doesn't show DOCTYPE; outerHTML not supported in all browsers. It could be possible to re-get the source by ajax request, yet this only works for those pages who are obtainable via GET request.
