if you use smart navigation, javascript changes the dom on the fly, so the
source is not changed on postbacks (which happen in a hidden iframe - which
in turn is generated by javascript - for which you can see the source). you
need to use a dom inspector to see the changes made by smart nav.

the html for validator is also generated by javascript (when you click a
submit button), so you can not see them is the source. to see the source
look in webuivalidation.js the strings themselves are store as attributes
off of dom nodes and you can see them in the source.

|
| Now I have an IE add-on to show full source.
