Greetings All,

I've recently inherited web development duties for a friend and am having problems deciphering the following HTML page;

http://www.all-american-male.com/ga.html

The above page gets invoked by a hyperlink on;

http://www.all-american-male.com/tickets.html

When I select "View - Source" from the browser window, the HTML code of the invoking page makes sense. However, when I do the same for the "ga.html" page, it is very crazy looking. I need to change the date variables within the "Select Date:" section of this page, but do not understand how the page is being generated. What do I need to learn or know (i.e., CSS, Javascript, etc.) in order to decipher the page-generating logic and modify the date variables ? Please assist ! Any comments, suggestions, or assistance would br GREATLY appreciated :-) ! Thanks in advance. Have a splendid day !

Respectfully,
TTiger614

it is encoded to "prevent" people from viewing the soure and/or making sense of it (but doesn't)

Try using a view source bookmarklet to decode the page. eg. http://javascript.about.com/library/blsource.htm

Greetings All,

Firstly, I greatly appreciate your feedback thus far. Secondly, I've attempted the "bookmarklet" solution recommended by "felgall", but it doesn't seem to work. The source code is stil encrypted.

Cordially,

It comes up as plain HTML when I try it with the view source bookmarklet. There is just a huge blank space between the first line and the rest of the content.
