I don't think your looking for the source
code of a web site. Most sites don't have
their source code. If you are looking for
the source of the Web Pages of a site, there
are simpler methods. For a single page, use
View-->Source in your browser. If you want
to see all of someone's website, try a site
grabber. Grabbing a simple site is
relatively easy. However a site with offsite
links, cgi-scripts, database queries, may
deliver gigabytes of pages. ex. site with
get Acrobat Reader as an icon. If you say
allow offsite links, then the web grabber
will start download adobe.com.

Have fun.
