Slight tweaks to dpkendal's script. Gives the BBEdit document a name (rather than "untitled <integer>", and skips the \n to \r stuff, which I don't think is necessary in recent versions of BBEdit.
tell application "Safari"
set _source to do JavaScript "window.document.documentElement.outerHTML" in document 1
set _name to name of document 1
end tell
tell application "BBEdit"
make new text window with properties ¬
{contents:_source, source language:"HTML", name:"Generated source: " & _name}
select insertion point before character 1 of text window 1

MODx (missing) preview of unsaved changes

Idea & Concept

MODx Revolution lacks a preview of unsaved changes. For editors this is a rather important feature to check if their changes are correctly displayed and it's easy to do. No need to unpublish, save and view the resource. Just click 'Preview' and a MODx Window will show you all the changes.

The way it works is pretty easy: When clicking the 'Preview' button and OnBeforeDocFormSave is triggered all current (saved) data will be stored in a cache file, the resource will be saved with the new data. If OnWebPageComplete is fired, the saved data will be replaced with the previously cached data.

So for a short period the actual preview will be live!
