If you're using JavaScript to manipulate link properties, NS6.1
at least will throw an exception when it sees "view-source" as 
a protocol; use (in, say, a for() loop) something like 

    try
    {
        if ( thisLink.protocol == "view-source:" ) 
        { 
            continue; 
        }
    }
    catch (oops)
    {
        ; // just ignore for now
    }
 
> </tip>

FWIW!
