    Why doesn't "source" show all elements of site?

    looking at this site:

    http://www.garygrantmusic.com/


    and looking under source, the majority of what's there seems to be for
    the crawler at the bottom of the page, it seems to me that most of the
    elements of page aren't shown. I thought "source" showed you
    everything on the page. Can anyone enlighten on this issue?

    Thanks!

          ....and poorly implemented ones, at that (not that any framed site can be
          considered well implemented). There's a completely empty NOFRAMES
          section (and "NOFRAMES" is even misspelled!), and the FRAMESET tag is
          written using JavaScript (with crude browser-sniffing to decide what
          version to output), so any browser with JavaScript or frames disabled is
          going to see nothing at all.
