The question is:

hey darknite...
I am a newbie to internet security... but I'll still take a try at answering your question. Unless you're site was defaced or altered in anyway, I don't think your web browser would provide you with much evidence. Usually if your website was compromised, that means a user had to gain access to the system that your site was running on. Therefore, most evidence would come from system logs showing malicious activity. I can't be much help in directing you with which system logs to check, it depends on what operating system and server daemon you are using to operate the website with.
Hope i was some help in answering your question.
Search google.com for CGI expliots; check your site logs for any wierd attempts to access CGI-BIN, repeated attempts to access passworded dirs, etc.
