This suggests that you are either looking at some server side code that generates HTML instead of looking at the generated HTML that gets sent to the browser, or you are using ASP.NET WebForms which is notorious for performing user agent sniffing and sending completely different markup to user agents it considers "good" and user agents that it either considers "bad" or doesn't recognise (which include the Markup Validator).
