Get entire document HTML as string
Is there a way in JS to get the entire HTML within the html tags, as a string?
MS added the outerHTML and innerHTML some time ago but they aren't universally supported. See quirksmode for browser compatibility for what will work for you. All support innerHTML however (except Konqueror).
var txt = document.documentElement.innerHTML; alert(txt);
I believe document.outerHTML should return that for you.
Edit: As the MSDN page on the outerHTML property notes, there is no standard that supports this, although IE 6+ and more recently several other browsers now support it. Colin's answer links to the W3C quirksmode page, which offers a good comparison of cross-browser compatibility (for other DOM features too).

document.documentElement.innerHTML
ReplyDeleteYou can also do:
ReplyDeletedocument.getElementsByTagName('html')[0].innerHTML
You will not get the Doctype or html tag, but everything else...

document.documentElement.outerHTML
ReplyDeleteThe correct way is actually:
ReplyDeletewebBrowser1.DocumentText
I always use
ReplyDeletedocument.getElementsByTagName('html')[0].innerHTML
Probably not the right way but I can understand it when I see it.
