OK, when I go to view source it only shows a limited number of lines but I know there are more. How can I increase the number of lines to view.

This issue only appears to happen on this one machine, all machines running Windows 8, all using Firefox, all up to date!

I know that the page I am looking at has 407 lines of code but 'view page' only shows 329

And the URL of that "page" is?

www.lamarketing.net but it is not just confined to this address. I have also found it's the same on Explorer, so could it be a setting on my machine?

I am using a different (older) version of Firefox right now, on WinXP, and I see only 319 lines in View Source.

I have heard it mentioned that Firefox parses the code, it doesn't always show the original code exactly as written in View Source mode inside Firefox, but rather the Source is shown as displayed in Firefox.

Not sure if this add-on is still compatible or not. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/dafizilla-viewsourcewith/ Allows you to view source in an external (to Firefox} editor.

The Edmeister, Thank you for your response, I will have a look and report back. Odd that I get exactly the same response from Explorer though! Is it possible that it is a setting local to this machine based on the fact that all the other machines in this office can see all the lines? The thing is that I am a crayon monkey not a tech whiz!

I'm no whiz by any stretch of the imagination, but I wonder if that difference relates to the operating system being used?

Are any of those other computers in your office running on Win8.1 or XP?

We have four machines, all on Win 8, all using Firefox and all up to date!

There are currently only 320 (319) lines in the page source.

Did you save the source to your hard drive and do a compare to check what might be missing?

It is possible that there is server side processed code in the original source that of course won't show in the browser.

Cor-el, thank you for your response, so you are also only seeing 320 lines of code in view source! However the other three machines in my office see 407 as I said before.

Save the source on each where it differs and compare to see what is missing, as cor-el asked about.

The-Edmeister, Thank you once again for your response. The difference is that 3 machines show 407 lines of code and one shows 320

I have done what Cor-el suggested prior to my post, else I wouldn't have known about the issue.

I really do appreciate you time on this but I can't see that it will be resolved here. It is obvious that I am not making myself clear.
