Html hidden fields?
 

Can someone explain why the source viewer in Google Chrome sees things differently from the element inspector? I am trying to parse a html page in Python but could not get the fields read in. I use

content= urllib2.urlopen(url).read()

to read in the html stream. But it is the same as the source viewer. It lacks the "£16.00" part, how strange!

Any help appreciated. I am new to the html world.

Based on the few differences I'm seeing here, they look like changes you've made. Possibly you need to re-upload the script, or re-open the page source, clear cache from Chrome, or something like that. The issue is definitely interesting if it's not just a minor confusion in that field, but it most likely is that.

I'm assuming the bottom is a direct Chrome source code? Try closing that and reopening it... then close Chrome and reopen it. You could also be viewing a different file by accident?

I double check the original page, it is definitely the same section. Here is the link http://www.next.co.uk/g38448s1, if you open in Google Chrome and element inspector the price drop down list , you can see the details of prices and whether each item is in stock. But if you view the source code, they are just simply item numbers.
