This doesn't make a lot of sense. I think you mean:

• The source code shows ' around the attribute values
• The DOM Inspector in your browser shows " around the attribute values

This is normal and there is nothing you can do about it.

The browser will parse the HTML source code and use it to create a DOM. It will apply rules for optional start and end tags. It will apply error recovery. The DOM might be manipulated by JavaScript. The DOM Inspector will then show a serialised version of that DOM.

It doesn't matter what type of quotes were used around the attribute value in the source code. The browser will always use " when it generates the HTML visualisation of the DOM for the DOM inspector.
