IMHO view source from Google Chrome acts really odd.
When you click view source a new tab opens and the page is loaded all over again.
Maybe there is a very valid reason for this. But I cant find one. To me this can even be problem.
Examples:
- If you pass values via POST you cant get the results as Chrome does not re-POST it just issues a new request using GET and a new session. (I found a couple “Notice: Undefined variable” on some of my code, but this was my problem as I wasnt doing proper verifications) But anyway you never get the POST values and see the source for your page.
- If you have a counter or random dinamic content you will never get to see exactly what you get on the rendered html you have on the initial tab.
A work around is to use “inspect element” but its not the same. Its great for some things but its not the same.
If someone finds a valid reason for this “view source” behaviour I would love to know.
