How Does Gmail Hide Its Source

I just saw something odd, I'm using Google Chrome browser and I right clicked a tab with GMAIL open and selected to view the source. All I had returned was : &

Solution 1:

Because gmail is built with javascript it will also build the page dynamically after it is loaded with javascript.

gmail also uses a lot of iframes, you can have a look at the conent of those by inspecting them with Firebug for Firefox

Solution 2:

I don't think it is possible. Did you use Tools -> View Source in the menu? It shows a lot with me. Maybe you clicked in an iframe?

Solution 3:

depends where you click ... (you clicked in an iframe which is empty, and content is loaded with javascript from other frames...)

If you go to the options -> tools -> view source you will see the main frame and its code..
