i was under the impression mac's didnt have a right click though? do you mean command click?

Why wouldn't you be able to use mouse right click on a mac? Right click the HTML file icon itself.

im not sure but the one at my workplace for whatever reason is just 1 big button

It is a computer mouse in the standard sense, right? Anyways, holding ctrl while clicking seems to be the equivalent of a left click.

The standard "pretty white smooth round thing" mouse that comes with Macs only had one button. You can plug a regular mouse in, but you have to buy it seperately

Also I think he needs to view the source of a live web page, not a downloaded html file

Oh. Well, it's more inconvenient on basic browsers like safari, but press CMD + S to save a webpage, select page source as file format, and then open up the .html file with a text editor.

if you're using google chrome you can press "Ctrl + U" (on pc, idk what it is on mac) to get the source of a webpage. you don't have to save or anything
