Why is view source greyed out

If I visit the page in Internet Explorer or Firefox, the view source option is greyed out. Edit: This page is not actually an image, it is a plain text page with the content type of an image. As a result, you directly get an image, and an image does not have a textual source. For that raeson, you can't select any text either. Sign up to join this community.
