hey all,

i have a user control on my web page. the user control dynamically builds
some controls.

when i browse to this page and right-click and do a view source, the html
for the controls don't always show up and i can see the controls on the page
all the time.
can someone please this inconsistency?

any ideas?
thanks,
rodchar

If the controls have been rendered onto the page, then the markup has to be
there. No markup, no control.

Unless, of course, the controls are rendered via javascript (e.g. using
Ajax). In that case, many (most?) browsers won't show the "correct" HTML.

If you are looking at IE I would suggest getting the IE Developer Toolbar.
It is great for viewing / locating controls.

You can also change attributes of the source and see immediately the result
of the change.
