"View Generated Source" is not the same source code you get with "View Source".

View Generated Source "improves" the code, parsing the html, adding newlines among tags, changing attributes order (width="100%" cellpadding="0" => cellpadding="0" width="100%"), adding attributes values (nowrap => nowrap="nowrap") and tags (tbody from nowhere), etc.
